Cool. If you were doing the 1993 NCAA championship game and Chris Webber quietly asked you for a TO, your philosophy would have been to ignore it. Know what? Your philosophy really, really needs to grow some balls.

That's terrible advice imo. Just call the game. Officials aren't supposed to influence the result of any game. We aren't supposed to insert our personal philosophies into any call that may give a team an unfair advantage not intended by the rules.
