Some coaches will argue that the A/D concept goes against some of the things they are trying to teach their players like: taking a charge, boxing out, etc.

When illegal contact is passed on by the officials, a team may be disadvantaged by not being allowed to achieve a bonus situation. Free throws are a very integral part of the game for many teams.

A/D is a very difficult judgement to make on many calls simply because of the unknown outcome that occurs when we do call it tight or if we pass and the bonus is not gained. I think the concept of A/D is a compelling component of the game as it brings the human element to the officials.

However, this judgement can be very powerful and every effort should be made to master the skills for applying it correctly.
