What call would you make?

[JRutledge]

And what mess would that be? A debate over if you actually made the right call or not by splitting hairs? Most of us are not working games with High-Definition video or even good camera angles on the tape of our games. The only messes I see is going to need cleaning up are answers to why you ejected a coach for calling something you cannot prove.

What extra is he adding? All Jeff is saying is if it's close don't make the unexpected call. Camron is saying even if it's not close don't make the unexpected call. Two different plays that are both within the scope of the original discussion.

FWIW, I doubt I'm going to make an unexpected call here either. Maybe I can envision some 3rd world scenario where a dead ball contact T is needed instead of a common foul. But as I said, it's probably gonna be a play that occurs outside of the normal physics of basketball and it has got to be really obvious so I really don't think it's worth debating. Unless of course you normally work games that do not obey the usual laws of basketball physics.

Dan,

It is simply the fact that I made a point. He cannot handle anything I say no matter what it is about or how the point of view is framed.

It's boils down to understanding the difference between the rules and the game. The rules are a framework in which the game is to be played, comprehending most situations but not all. When something happens outside the intended framework of the rules, the enforcement may also be outside the typical framework of the rules.
