Obviously there are many good points as to why you should not call that violation.
Mr. Rinke, you have stated that there is nothing in the rulebook to support such a decision. Let me quote from the FIBA rulebook:
Article 32.2
When deciding on a violation, the officials shall in each instance regard and weigh up the following fundamental principle:
- The spirit and intent of the rules and the need to
uphold the integrity of the game
- Consistency in applying common sense to each game,
bearing in mind the abilities of the players concerned
and their attitude and conduct during the game
- Consistency in maintaining a balance between game
control and game flow, having a "feel" for what the
participants are trying to do and calling what is right
for the game
