You can't because their A/D is considerably different than yours.
I am not a fan of the A/D concept. I wish there was another way to refer to that concept because it definitley applies to the game. Especially at higher levels with better athletes. But, when you put words around it, it almost always seems to be interpreted incorrectly.
The A/D concept is used frequently to excuse a no-call that should have been called. It lulls us into not using our whistle when needed. It is not an easy thing to understand or apply. To me, it is a thing that even when (partially for me) understood is still hard to put into words.
I only felt good about applying A/D in a game when I quit trying to apply A/D to calls and made calls according to my understanding of the rules. The A/D followed.
