Hopefully you can see where I am going with this...

bud lists another of "charge on team and deciding whether to shoot FTs" --- Isnt that judgement if there was team control or not?

The coach could almost stop any play and say it was the misapplication of a black and white rule.

I will stand by my statement that allowing this is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard in basketball
Kelvin, you are looking way into that "what if's" It's rather simple and coaches understand that also. They will not protest a travel or fouls on the basis of "judgement". I will call a protest when a rule that they never heard of, like 10 seconds on the free throw line. Deciding to shot during a team control or player control foul is a protestable offence. Coaches rarely use it because it's one of the they rather just get the game going and spend 10 mins looking up a rule that they can lose a time out.
