Re: why do we as officials go so defensive?

If it is a foul that changes the complexion of the play call it. If the players was foulded on the layup that she missed call it, but not the call that was made.

Advantage/disadvantage.

So which one is it?

Forget the question of whether or not it's a foul. Assume the contact is clearly a foul.

If you have a foul clearly before the buzzer, but wave it off because the score is tied, you are putting the fouled team at a HUGE disadvantage, you are giving all refs a bad name, and you need to get some chutzpah.
