The Great Debate: ‘No-Call’ It?

[112448]

Like Eli and Jim i would have to have a call in this situation. Every instructor at every camp I have attended (10 in 4 states from VA to TX) has told me that you must have a whistle in that situation, even like Eli said, if "you have to guess."

I also happen to work in an athletic department at a small university and have the good fortune of having an office across the hall from the Men's Basketball coach. Over the course of numerous conversations he has made it abundently clear that to have a "no call" in that situation is unacceptable to him as a coach. He has said,

"even if the official is wrong, i want to have a whistle in that situation. a no call in that situation could lead to retaliatory actions later." -- if not an exact quote, it's pretty close

Just wanted to throw in my two-cents and add the persceptive from one coach.
