I'm critical of people that
deliberately post something that is completely false, rules-wise. Part of the idea behind this site is the advancement of officiating knowledge. Anyone posting nonsense that is obviously wrong per the rules does absolutely nothing to help officiating knowledge.
If you want to say that the call that was made by Old School was a good call, even though that call was completely wrong by rule, hey, be my guest. Don't let the fact that some other rules-knowledgeable guys like Nevada and MTD Sr. disagree completely with you also. Don't get bent out of shape though when it gets pointed out that you are as wrong as Old School was.
Some answers aren't "opinions". They are either right or wrong according to the written rules. This particular one is a no-brainer. You can't call a technical foul for the live-ball contact as described, no matter what you and Old school think. And insisting that you can do so without any rules backing at all is ludicrous.
Officiating isn't objective when you call something that the rules won't allow to be called. You can't make up your own rules, believe it or not.
Jmo......like it or not.
