Don't call the rules if you don't want to but please don't tell me I am mistaken. I am not trying to inflame anyone - but there seems to be too much finger pointing and name calling. A wise man once said, "Opinions are like a$$holes - everyone has one and they all stink!"

I haven't really seen any finger-pointing and name-calling in this thread. Well, except for maybe
you trying to tell people that they lack integrity if they don't call the game the way that
you think it should be called. I do see other officials voicing opinions that are diametrically opposite.
For the record, I take it that you are you following the same philosophy as Nevada. You advocate calling 3-seconds strictly as defined in the rules, with no warning, etc. And if a FT shooter takes 11 seconds, that's an immediate violation. Correct?
The bottom line is that each official has to decide their own philosophy as to what to call or not call. Obviously, nothing that is being posted here will change your philosophy either. That's fine too.
