We can help ourselves by knowing the situations in games and making sure that we respond appropriately to them. In the situation I brought up, we have called a "marginal" 4th foul on one of the better players in the game. Now we make sure that his 5th is an "obvious" foul. If it isn't then I promise you you are going to get some heat from the coach who now has to sit his player because he just got two fouls called on him, that could have been fouls, or we could have passed on. It's called game management and it can help you as an official.

So let me ask this. A1 has 4 fouls, B1 doesn't. A1 drives the lane and B1 slides in and gains LGP just prior to A1 leaving the floor. B1 is still moving slightly, but hasn't given up his LGP, so by rule you have a pc foul on A1. You going to defer and call the block because the pc isn't obvious to everyone in the gym?
