Team Control

[kspann]

That's the beauty of basketball! Applying rules knowledge in a common sense way to make sure the game is smooth, and the best team wins. We must study the rule book, and know the rules, in order to fall back on them when "tricky" situations arise, i.e. correctable error. I agree with JR in a majority of officiating is mechanics, positioning, and judgement. However, in order to develope judgement, we must first lay the foundation of rules knowlegde. Judgement, good or bad, comes out and is sharpened by game time situations.
