To pick up on the block/charge, come and get it/leave it alone discussion...

I noticed watching some games on ESPN last week (Syr/UNC in particular) that the T is much more active in making calls in the lane that I had ever imagined the T should be. Now, I know that this is big time Div 1 and the general rules might not apply there as they do in lower level college and HS, but what am I to take from the T making multiple calls in the lane, especially a couple of block/charges?

If we are talking about the crew as a whole going down in flames versus the partner alone "living and dying" with a call / no call (and I think we might be at the major D-1 level) then that might be the only answer. I suppose if the T in Syr/UNC at Madison Square Garden sees a PC foul in the paint with no whistle he thinks to himself "Hell no, I'm not letting us look bad on THAT- I'm gettin it", then it's acceptable no? After all they get graded as a crew and as individuals correct?

But for us mere mortals, won't we get grilled or even demoted for reaching in like that?

Or is that the eternal question? To reach or not to reach?

Trying to be one with the universe on the floor-proper mechanics and proper philosophy- which is hard if there are varying philosophies every night by every partner in the crew...

Thoughts?
