I disagree. Widely accepted by whom? Society? Coaches? Administrators? Other officials? Further...our individual opinions are exactly why we get paid to do what we do.
"Widely Accepted" parameters sounds an awful like concensus to me. Concensus has no place in officiating a basketball game.
Just my humble opinion.
