You'd be amazed at how many officials do things differently. I saw a varsity official criticize one of my JV partners for doing something, saying it went out 20 years ago. Then, the next night, I saw equally thought-of varsity officials doing exactly what he'd been criticized for doing.

I tend to chop with the same hand, but may switch so I can fit in here in Rome.
