I'm a relatively new official, and in reading this site in is interesting to me how so many are worried about minutae in rules and mechanics, yet many seem to miss the big things. I was watching State in Tacoma and saw an official call a goaltending as the lead from the other side of the basket. Is it correct that the lead should never call a goaltend, especially because they should never be watching the flight of the ball from underneath? Me and my two cohorts were flat out amazed since it didn't even look like a goaltend to us, and the official appeared defiant after making the call and being confronted about it by the coaches, and talked to by his partners at the next TO. Made me wonder if we're missing something, or if it was a case of the big egos and lack of basic rule knowledge this site seems to work against.
