The fellow asked if I ignore fouls. I said yes - good judgement requires that sometimes. He stated ignoring fouls does not relate to judgement. A blanket statement. I simply posed a scenario in which ignoring DOES equal judgement.

The reality is, a stupid dunk before a game gives no team an advantage - the rule is there to protect the equipment. It is minor. You address it by telling them not to dunk. The same goes with being 6 inches outside the box. Ok, what if he's 2 feet outside the box - is that "blatant disregard"? No.

Judgement.

I will say this again - ignoring any of those situations is NOT judgement. How you choose to deal with them is where the judgement comes in...telling a coach "Hey, I really need you to stay in your box for me" is dealing with it and using judgement - ignoring the coach is not...walking over to the coach during pre-game and telling him "Coach, #45 is going to get you a T if he dunks again" is dealing with it and showing judgement - ignoring it is not.
