It makes sense that if a throws the ball away they commited a violation and loose the ball and the arrow.

Had you stopped right there, I don't think anyone (not even tomegun) would have taken issue with your post.

there is an old saying. "keep it simple stupid"
Not calling you stupid LOL, but the point is try not to over think everything.[/QUOTE]
But you added the part about thinking too hard and keeping it simple - which might be good advice (I happen to think it is and would agree with you and buy you another beer at the bar), but it can make some people angry who do take reffing very seriously. It kind of came across as downplaying the hard work and effort some people pour into their officiating careers.
Having said that, of course you can post your opinions...just don't be surprised/indignant/offended when someone else posts that they disagree with your opinion. That's kind of the way opinions work.
