You might as well just say "I dont want to be here and just want to go home."

I've heard NBA refs put it as the grey area being adjusted. An obvious foul is still a foul. But plays that require judgment and decision-making, that 50/50 line moves to expand the grey area.

Most coaches understand and recognize this. That's why I'm comfortable saying it the way I say it.
