A1 didn't get any perceptable advantage, but he violated the rule.

Snaq's...great example...but, I'm probably just verbally telling the players to stay on the court in this example...no violation.
Of course, I don't remember the last time I called this violation so I could be missing an oportunity to blow my whistle.
Since I'm on a Dave Libby quoting spree today...he once said, "It's sometimes hard to tell the difference in an experienced official and a less experienced official...both may not blow their whistles much. An official that has enough experience to know all the rules...sometimes like to show what they know by blowing the whistle all the time."
