Soooooo.....I'll go back and edit my last post to change to "game disrupters" from game interrupters".

I'd still like answers to those questions though, just to clear up the confusion in my mind. Think you could help?

Me? yeah.

Game disrupters and game interrupters are any situations that lead to potential badness. Assignors get calls when potential badness turns into real badness.

So we're talking about strategies to minimize the number of calls assignors take from incoherently screaming spittle spewing coaches who think they just got screwed.

My philosophy is to keep calling the game regardless of which end of the bench is on the floor. Each player gets 5 chances to foul, less if the fouls are flagrant. Part of the job is to protect against badness - badness by starters, badness by scrubs, badness by anybody.
