What an old, tired, worn-out comment...everyone makes decisions on what to call and not call in every single game they officiate...even Smitty (unless his games">games are three hour long marathons)...every time we choose to not call something because it had no impact on the play or the game, someone can say we are "ignoring the rule"...and my response would be "Yup...on that play I sure did"...that's what judgement is all about.

Well said, Rocky! Thanks!

My point was, if you call 3 seconds, you should call it at 3 seconds like the rule book says. Not 4, not 5, not using peripheral vision, not because it's in your area, because it is the rule. Gimma a break.

My point was that 3 seconds should not be a priority call!

I have been watching NCAA Bball for, well I'm 38 and have watched Bball as a ritual since I can remember, and have NEVER seen 3 seconds called that I can remember! That should say something about 3 seconds!
