He said he remembered being taught there was such a thing as a violation years ago. (15-20 years ago) Generally this guy is very by the book and good official, so this threw me for a loop.

Do any of you who have been in the business awhile remember if a violation ever was a option?

Also, please help me remove my .1% doubt about it not existing today.

Thanks.

Reminds of a partner I had years ago, boys soph game and she was in her first year. Would go to the table to report a travel "Blue, 23, travel. white ball." God bless her little heart.

Did she come to a stop in the Violation Reporting Area?

Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.......

I've seen year-end playdowns where evaluators have to decide who is going to go on and do the semi's and championship game. Usually, most of the officials by the time they get to this stage are fairly even--competent, experienced and well-qualified. It might be getting tough to justify picking one official over another who is just as equally qualified. Sooooo....the easiest way out is to pick an official who's book mechanics might be just a tetch better than another official. That might include something as inconsequential as failing to stop when reporting a foul. Is it right? Naw, but it's something you can put down on an evaluation sheet. And I have seen some amazingly petty things put down on evals.

Sometimes, like a comedian or a politician (if you can tell them apart), you have to know your audience.

Jmho.
