Interesting.

I would call it. I don't think the rule is necessarily equitable, but I would call the violation.

Wow. That would sure make an awful interesting no-call in a state final,wouldn't it? Especially in a close ballgame with a knowledgeable coach and a coupla evaluators or supervisors present.

I can think of a few rules that I don't like that much either,but you still have to call them.There's also the problem of always being equally fair to both teams.Ignoring the violation means that you just handed an unfair advantage to the offense,and at the same time you unjustly penalized the defensive team.I think that your partner was completely wrong in this case,Rich.
