+1. By the way, Rich, did you get the PM I sent you a while ago?
Not sure why but I feel compelled to add to this thread for some reason. I'm all about seeing the whole play, but there are some fouls that are just clobbers that are easy to call immediately. And if a skilled player manages to fight through it and score anyway, then all power to them.
The other type of foul where you get a few and-1s is mid- and long-range jumpers. Either the arm/elbow gets hit, or the airborne shooter gets interfered with and you blow the whistle to protect said shooter. In both cases you can't really wait to see if the basket goes in because the shot is in the air too long; by the time you see the result, your whistle would be too late to have any credibility.
