Whew...we actually agree. I was worried you had gotten into a stash of Padgett's meds. :D

I have seen this in younger officials, but I haven't seen it that often in more experienced officials. Maybe it's because more and more officials are younger than us every year?

MTD -

I was imagining two of the exceptions that have been listed - the primary being the player laying or sitting on the floor and intentionally striking the ball with their leg or foot. I just meant I disagreed with it as a blanketing, universally true statement.
