I've heard the philosophy of "not determining the outcome of a game," and I think there is a fine line between what you should call and what you should pass on.
I was watching the Lakers and Heat play the other night. The score was tied with just a few seconds left in regulation. Kobe drives to the hoop and plows over player from the Heat. Watching the reply, it looked to me like it could have been called either way, as the defender moved into Kobe. Both of the players hit the floor. No call. Good no call IMO, because that call truely would have determined the outcome of the game.

Your right that it would not be dictating the outcome. However how many times have you seen officials not call anything in a last second play like that. Frankly the way I do it is based on judgement. If it is clearly a blatent foul/hack I will blow the whistle. But if you flop on the ground trying to draw a charge or you slide under for a block, I'm letting that go. I am not rewarding a team with freethrows for a handcheck on the last play either. |

It's one thing if the game is a 40 pt blow-out and you are just protecting the players. It's entirely different if you have a close game and pass on a legitimate foul because you don't want to decide the game - that's crap.

A vet once told me. If the player is stupid enough to commit a foul in that situation. I will be stupid enough to make the call. How much time that is left in the game has no bearing.

Good thread.
While I agree that it is bad to swallow the whistle on last second plays, I also think you have to look at the fact that this game was called loosely and they let them play. It was not inconsistant with what they called all night. |
