Why ignore the obvious violation?

How far does the pass have to be from the thrower before you don't call it?

Why penalize the defense that's done their job?

Why ignore the rule?


Do you call a 3 second violation every time it occurs? It's been my experience that some calls while they may be technically correct are better left alone. I believe this to be the case. In the thousands of college basketball games that I have seen in person or on TV, I can not recall seeing an official make this call. I believe it is better to take the path of least resistance here.
