Also, being a soccer ref - in soccer, advantage/disadvantage is a rule. In basketball, it is NOT a rule - it is a consideration. You can't say, in basketball, "play on!" when you see a foul and want to ignore it, like soccer.
Ahhhh...here is where the fault in your logic lies, grasshopper.

Advantage/disadvantage is specifically mentioned in the basketball rulebook in the definition of a foul.

You are right about one thing...I don't say "PLAY ON", I just choose not to blow my whistle!! (In a 30 point game with 15 seconds left, I would often choose not to blow my whistle)
