Guys, let me give you a more detailed explanation. I agree with your judgement. It seems stupid to quit calling a violation just because the player refuses to make an adjustment.
Second, I am not an official, but I am taking an independent study course at Texas on sports officials.
At one game I attended, an official called two carrying violations on a player. The player continued to carry the ball, but the officials quit calling it. After the game I asked the officials why they stopped calling the violation. They said it was not a major violation, and to continually calling it would disrupt the flow of the game. Sounded fishy to me. That's why I'm asking the experts.
Please don't shoot me.
