Foul after shot...

Jeff, let me disagree for a moment. Here's the scenario. You have a foul on one end that you don't call because the shot went in. Later, you have a foul on the other end (different players) and the shot doesn't go in and you call it.

That coach yells at you to "call it both ways". We all know you should ignore him, but in this case, he has a point.

Frankly, what's the reasoning here? An off the ball foul is a foul only if the shot taken at that time goes in?

I think that's a real hard sell. Me - I call the fouls I see.

I had an NCAA ref tell me that if there isn't ad/disad...there is no foul. Unless it was hard/unsportsmanlike...

Just a thought!
