[Oz Referee]

Rut,

I agree that knocking a player down must always be called, however, in this case I believe that the sitch refered to more of a boxing out/physical play under the hoop. Obviously any call must be made according to the situation, I was simply trying to suggest that this is not automatically a foul that should be called.

I have always thought that the main difference between a good referee and a great referee is not in what they call, but in what they chose not to call.
