Sorry, not my POE. I'm busy watching all the other stuff, illegal pushing, holding, etc.

So Bart, you are one of those trail officials on free throws positioned near half court who don't care if the thrower has his toes accross the line or the player "boxing out" the shooter puts a body on him as he releases the ball. Or you don't care if the person guarding an inbounds play reaches through the out of bounds plane. Or one of several rules that don't involve "illegal pushing, holding, etc" My point in posting this thread was that we as officials should be interpreting the rules that we are given with consistency. We don't have to like them and sometimes we certainly don't understand some of them but we have to enforce the ones that we are given. We also can't decide which ones we will choose to enforce.
