Displacement - Posting POE

[JRutledge]

At the HS level, POEs mean little or nothing in my opinion. The main problem is you have officials literally at all levels of ability and understanding of the game. Things that a very experienced official might call are very different from an official that is just getting started. I know I have called post fouls like this without warning. Anytime the players are doing things that might be a foul and if I can talk them out of it, I will still try to do that. Like when a player starts by putting their arms in a way to hold their opponent but have not actually held yet.

Also just like anything, the minute officials start calling this; the coaches will raise hell about these calls. Then indirectly they will complain to the supervisor and say they do not want to see that guy. Often there will not be much video tape shown to the supervisor (the tapes are often garbage anyway) and officials will call what is not as likely to get them in trouble.
