Basically, he was saying that he would not allow it.

Luke - an official from Hot Springs for 4 years - said that he would allow the defense when his team was on defense but not during dead balls or when his team was on offense.

LOL!!

The range of opinion and judgment is so interesting, and it's one of the most fun things about officiating -- as long as it doesn't get too personal. For some reason, this cheers me up enormously. I suppose I should move to Arkansas where at least three officials share my views about this situation.
