Taking Billy's philosophy literally, you couldn't call that obvious foul or violation in the last 30 seconds if it hadn't happened before. That was my point. Iow, I don't think that you can make an all-encompassing statement like Billy made that is viable for ALL situations.


Those are NOT the plays anyone is referring to when they're saying don't call anything in the last 2 minutes that hasn't been called all game. The statement is a single-statement summary that is used to remind everyone to not change what you've been calling or not calling all game in the last 2 minutes without a 2 hour discussion. It has no bearing on calling something significant that hasn't previously occurred.
