Poll on applying advantage/disadvantage to violations

[deecee]

actually a nice story i heard from a guy who did 2 maybe 3 D1 girls games -- he admintted why he never got called back

half court set -- PG was by midcourt in the FC with 0 pressure -- she was calling out a play and dribbling -- while she was calling the play she palmed/carried -- very obvious. He as the T made the call -- had to T the coach up after that because the coach was going on and on about "that's not a call made in this situation in this level."

turned out the assignor agreed with the coach and told him he also needs to officiate the level of ball that the game was.

dont know if someone put him up to this story but I have heard from NBA-D1-HS officials (good ones anyway) that the level of play comes into play for what you are going to call.

here it would seem like the palming/carrying violation was 100% correct and good for him -- but once again real world application doesnt always work with how the rules are written or enforced in theory.
