I don't. I can't help it those other officials and the coaches don't know the rules.

First of all, I want to be clear, the VAST MAJORITY of the time when a typical coach questions a typical call, the COACH IS WRONG!!! (JRut, sometimes it may be arrogance, but at other times it is ignorance).
But, this particular situation, as Rich points out, creates HUGE problems for us. Over the past three days alone, I have heard "on the floor" describe fouls in which the shooter had clearly begun his/her shooting motion.
Perhaps making this a POE for 2010-11 may be in order.
