Tech or Throw in Violation?

before they wisely changed the rule, I occasionally would whistle that circumstance down and call traveling. Knowledgeable coaches knew without being told that they had just dodged a bullet.

Oh my!

Knowledgeable evaluators would be shooting bullets at you for that one!

How about the other knowledgeable coach on the opposite bench in this situation? The one that knows that you just made the wrong call? The one that knows that he just got screwed out of the two foul shots that he should have had coming if you hadda made the right call? What could you possibly say to him? Helping one coach while you're screwing the other isn't really the way that the game is supposed to be called, imho! Using judgement is whether or not you're going to make a call- not making up your own rules.

Have you got any other rules that you like to make up, in lieu of using the ones already in the rulebook?
