whats the call if any?

[Brian Watson]

I think a lot of it has to do with the area you are in, and the comfort level ofthe call. I wouldn't say a double is pushed here, but the interpreters want fouls called on all parties when needed. Like the play in the paint, when it is just mutual banging, they feel we should call doubles, the thinking being both players are responsible. Now if one uses their rump to clear out, pull the old swim move, etc. then you get that person.

I try to "talk" them out of fouls, but I know this was even discouraged a little this year, because the feeling (by the higher ups) was it has not worked in the past. We were "told" to hit the fox right off the bat.

On the fip side, when I was in IN, I was told you should rarely, if ever, have a double and never ever have a multiple.

A wise man once said officials should do what they are told by their (fill one in state, assignor, league).
