Would this be the same with the dreaded backcourt interp - should we simply not call it the way the interp states, simply because we don't agree with it?
In either case above, how do we answer the person who asks us why we simply didn't follow the rule? JR, you have said consistenly over the years that "rules rulz", and that we cannot go wrong if we follow them, no matter what we feel or think about certain ones. What makes this one different?

Shut up.
Quit asking embarrassing questions....you know, the ones that I can't really give a good, solid answer to you.
Excellent points, Jim. And I certainly can see where both you and Scrappy are coming from. The only answer that I can honestly give is that imo this type of call falls into the same general area of calls like 3-seconds and 10-seconds to shoot a FT. It's just been generally accepted that judgment is used in a very
few areas...contrary to the written rule.... but Rules Rulz in most.
I hate wishy-washy, but there it is.
