Amen to Willie and Rich...

What baffles me here is how the message is being lost. What Rich says does not mean it's open season in the closing seconds of a close game, or that legitimate fouls should not be called. But good game management dictates that there will occasionally be situational officiating.

It is my firm belief that players/coaches on both sides would rather the officials err on the side of NOT blowing the whistle in these situations.

By the way, how many points does willie get for using "pontificate"?
