JR, not sure why you keep pushing this issue. There are times when we do have to judge what the player is trying to do.
  • player in the lane gets fouled. Is that player shooting, passing, or just holding onto the ball. We have to make a judgement about what they were attempting to do since we'll either be putting them on the line or not. Sometimes it is obvoius, sometimes it is not....we have to read thier mind.
  • With a kick ball, was it intentional or not? We have to make a judgement about what the player was attempting to get it right. Sure, you might be able to see it at a kick even if it was not intentional but look a little like it could be, but still, you have to know the player's intent.
