Bad Situation, How Should It Be Handled?

[Rookie]

Bktballref,

You beat me to the punch. The scoreboard is there only for the convienence of the players, coaches, and fans, it doesn't mean anything. The book is the only thing that matters.

Also, rules are there for a reason, you can't not call a travel becuase no one was with in 15 feet of a player, becuase it didn't really matter if he did or not, the rule is there to be followed.

Officiating isn't about what feels right, it is about black and white(most of the time).
