The pro's take into consideration the offensive player and where's he's at within his movement towards the bucket. If his final movement or motion has started, defense is too late. I agree with this code.
If you don't know NBA rules and philosophies, how can you comment on them?

Are you saying as long as an official has a personality, they don't need know "the code" as well? In your second statement, you say other officials know the rules, but they aren't good at debating them with you, when you disagree with them? Let me get this straight - they are great with the rules, and you disagree with them; so what does that say about your knowledge of the rules?

You rarely answer my questions when I pose them directly towards you. How come you don't want to debate rules and philosophies with me when I disagree with you?

One player does something, the call goes one way, another player does the same thing, and the call will be different?

...sigh...
