What would you do?

If I'm calling an off-ball foul in the post, I often check the status of the ball before I whistle. It's part of the advantage/disadvantage. The location the ball sometimes affects the advantage. Plus, I'm not likely call a marginal defensive foul if the offense it getting the shot they want away from the foul. Of course, I'll certainly call it if it is more than marginal no matter the status of the ball.

Camron,

This is exactly what I do. I do not blow the whisle without some idea what has happen with the ball (or at the very least I try not to). And if for some reason I am unclear as to what happen, I ask myself. But if I have waved off the basket, I have long made a decision as to what happen. Maybe my whistle was a little slow, but I sure decided for some reason I was not counting the basket.

Peace
