So, I'm wondering how many of you guys call it like this, and how many will give the shooter the extra shot?
I understand where you're coming from, but this might be too much of a generalization at the HS level. I think Nevada is on the right track. Get the obvious. I tend not to call too many "And 1" fouls. I very rarely call them in the post. If they can power it in, unless it's an obvious one, get the players up and down the floor.
