I like this approach MUCH better.

I do not agree with "we MUST have a whistle" just because of the way a play looks.

One of my pet peeves is when coaches/fans say, "that's gotta be something." Yes it does have to be something, it's called basketball. It's a contact sport and sometimes contact occurs that is not a foul, on a some occasions even when players end up on the floor, as mentioned earlier.

If you know how players got the ground you can explain a no call in situations like this. A whistle for the sake of having one in this instance is poor officiating IMO.
