It's called selective blindness, Rev. Jmo, but I think that most good officials have a touch of it.

This remains of a situation I observed when I was on vacation in Hawaii over the holiday break. I went to watch a few holdiay tournaments. A player got called for a foul it was his fifth. So, in disgust the player pulls his jersey out of his shorts immediately following the call. No call! He did not stop there he continued to remove his jersey completely. No call!!

The spirit of the rule is what I belive is to stop a behavior problem, I did not T the kids up for this act but my partner came across the court and did after I gave them a delay of game warning. I felt bad but a rule is a rule...............

So we do pick and choose what T's to give or ignore then, huh?

Seems a far cry from just enforce the rule it doesn't matter the circumstances.
