I call a foul, held ball, or a violation, deep in the corner outside three point arc, and I've got coaches, players, fans, and even (gasp) partners looking at me like I was from Mars when I designate the throwin spot almost twenty-eight feet away at the twenty-eight foot line, which isn't even marked on many courts.

Stupid rule.
