All of this over a simple 5 second call? Peace

IMHO the officials that do not enforce the rules correctly cause a lot of problems. Especially when they never blow their wistle and I end up having to officiate the whole game.

That's what supervisors/assignors/commissioners/observers/evaluators are for.

+1. The official in the OP who told his partner not to call closely guarded was incorrect. He was probably working outside his PCA. At higher levels (and I assume that playoff basketball is considered a higher level) supervisors want officials to make obvious calls in one's PCA, and only go out of the PCA (not including overlapping areas of coverage) for obvious safety fouls. That said, any call outside the PCA needs to be right, late, and needed, which a closely-guarded count (or lack thereof) from a non-primary official is not.

Someone touched on this already, but in those type of late game situations chances are there are players in the game that don't get a lot of time on the court. Don't do them injustice by not calling the game correctly.
If those were the only 3.5 minutes you got to play in that game would you want somebody basically telling you "this part of the game doesn't matter, so I'm going to mail it in just to make it go by quicker"? |

I agree. That is why the philosophy of not calling stuff in a blowout makes no sense, especially when the call is obvious, like a 5-second count. Maybe the bench warmer was the one playing good defense to force the closely guarded violation, and (s)he needs rewarded for that good play.

How is that relevant to anything? Maybe people have valid new thoughts about an older topic (closely guarded counts and the inconsistent enforcement thereof in NFHS rules).

That happens once out of every 25 times an old thread is resurrected. Starts a new thread in that instance.
