enforcing carrying violations

Oh no - don't continue to call the violation. After all, why should we enforce the rules if the players don't cooperate? And - don't forget to stop calling that defender for that foul where he hacks the shooter on the arm each time. After all, why continue to call it if it could seriously affect the outcome of the game? We wouldn't want that to happen, would we?

And - oh yeah - after that howler monkey tells you that you suck and you call the T, don't forget to let him keep doing it without penalty, since he refuses to make an adjustment and calling it could seriously affect the outcome of the game.

Do you "get it" now?
