[QUOTE=RichMSN]In football (for example), calling a holding penalty when the run is going the other direction and the person held has no chance to become involved is considered bad officiating.

However, that has nothing to do with unsportsmanlike conduct and bad behavior, so I'm not sure why it's in THIS thread.[/B]

Sorry about that.

When I go out and buy your book, "Baseball Officiating by RichMSN," I will skip the chapter on game control because, wellll, your just "not sure."

Ignoring playing action fouls has nothing to do with penalizing USC. It's like me comparing ignoring obstruction to ejecting the kid on this play.

And the last part of it is personal, stupid, and I thought, beneath you. But I was wrong.

I apologize if you took it personal however my point was that it is relavant.

How individual officials handle every facet of any game may not always be the same but, if the outcome is a fair and controlled event, then does it matter how the cat got skinned. JMO
