I don't. I can't help it those other officials and the coaches don't know the rules.
I've posted about this before when you brought this up, but it reminds me. I have a partner that I'm friends with that I work with frequently, and he does a great job. BUT, this is the one thing that he consistently calls incorrectly IMO. I don't want to bring it up and seem like a know it all, so I don't say anything. We had a couple of them happen the other night where the player being fouled was clearly in the shooting motion (Caught a bounce pass and was gathering with both hands and starting up) and he waved the shot off.
