Hello all. Over the break my team participated in a x-mas tourney. At a stoppage in play I asked one of the officials if he would keep his eye out for carrying the ball, specifically our opponent's PG. He responded that he had noticed it as well but would refrain from making a carrying call until she used it to gain an advantage. I realize if the officials called every rule violation they seen, the games would quickly turn in a 3 hour tour and I appriciate when they do turn a blind eye to some stuff. However, I'd never heard an official respond in that fashion. Is this common?

Is it common to call it this way? Yes. Is it common to say this to a coach? Well....
"If I see it I'll call it coach."

When you do call it, they stop doing it. In most cases, it is just a bad habit. In the worst case scenario, the coach will take them out because of the turnovers. As an official, it is not bad PM to mention it to their coach before you address it directly.
