Protect the *Star Player ???

[ThickSkin]

This can be a very touchy subject (as we all know). I belive that there is the "Letter of the Rule" and "Spirit of the Rule" We all have rule books and there are instances when in previous posts that a "star" player is the only player on the team.

I belive that 99% of the time, I will go with the spirit of the rule and have a slow whistle should a "star" player be in foul trouble or report the foul on someone in the vicinity (post play) rather than have the "star" player sit on the bench.
