Coming out of halftime, me and my partner (who is one of the best refs in intramurals) and I agreed to clean up the reaches (which I really hard for me, so I was impressed with myself when it worked). The first 4 or 5 trips down the floor, I called reaches. I reported them every time. I have no problem going to the table over and over again. At first a team will probably say something about letting stuff go. After that, they'll be so sick of seeing you go "Red 2-5 with the reach, out of bounds" over and over and not playing (we have a running clock most of the game) that they get the message and stop.
So you were calling personal fouls during a live ball when there was no contact? Not only that, you were calling a foul that doesn't exist. There had to have been a better way.
Myths perpetuated. These college kids end up having children of their own and screaming at officials who don't call "reaching in" during their 6th grade basketball game.
