Assigners do not tell officials how to call a game. A foul in the first thirty seconds of the game is a foul in the last thirty seconds of the game. I am tired of officials who lack the intestinal fortitude to do the job for which they have been hired.

The definition of a no call is that the official saw an infraction of the rules and decided to ignore the infraction and that is unacceptable conduct by an official.
Mark - I agree with your first statement.

However, your second - to me, a "no call" is an infraction that is perceived (usually by the "victim") to have occurred, but is one which the offical decides did not result in any advantage/disadvantage and therefor should not be called.

But hey - now I'm arguing over semantics.
