Your first statement makes no sense to me...but to each their own. The NBA is concerned with their officials getting calls correct. This isn't about being "big time" nor swallowing your whistle. In the NBA, that's contact incident to the block. Oh and when we discussed this very play last year, these were your thoughts....

What, in your opinion, has changed your mind from last year to this year?
