The point is that you're agreeing with Bilas that OOB calls should be ignored under certain circumstances. I commented on what you stated---> "The debate of whether this is a foul or not (OR OOB OR NOT) in the context of this single play is missing the big picture." Well, imo the biggest part of the "big picture" is whether the player actually stepped OOB or not. If he did, then something MUST be called imo, whether it's an OOB violation or a foul for pushing the player OOB. If the player didn't go OOB, then we all can argue all day whether a foul should or should not have been called and it's all moot anyway.

The funny thing though is that I haven't seen Hank Nichols, your supervisors or any of your veteran colleagues come on here and agree with your opinion. The oldest trick in the world is to say I'm right because all if these experts agree with me, without providing any proof that any of those experts actually do agree with you. Personally, I doubt very much that you could ever get Hank Nichols or any D1 supervisor to state that an OOB call could ever be a judgment call under any circumstances. That's my opinion. And until I actually see Hank Nichols, D1 supervisors and veteran D1 officials tell me that I'm wrong, I'm going to stick to my opinion.

We disagree.
