Yep. I guess that is just bad communication on your part.

I have been told the very same thing. I have never done that and never will.

Another statement I agree with. I just do not want to make that a really cheap foul that we have not called the rest of the game. Usually that does not happen, but it can if you are not aware from my point of view. The opposite of knowledge is ignorance. I do not want to be caught by surprise because I am not aware of a situation.
