Hope for my sake this was tongue in cheek or you will fess up to calling a very bad game from that point . If not, I am a lot worse off than I thought.

I agree that there are more important things to watch and I also remind them before I give the ball to the shooter. So far the only violations I have called are the shooter stepping on/over the line, someone stepping into the lane and someone moving to a different space while the shooter had the ball. I am leaving alone the plane violations.

However, I also agree that if the players don't heed the warning I give them I am going to call the violation. I just check them as the shooter gets the ball, then concentrate on the other stuff. If I don't see a violator move with my periphial(sp) vision I know I have a call to make.
