I say that knowing from Ben's past posts that he is a fairly new/young official that seems to be struggling mightily with both the NFHS and NCAA rulesets. If you're working high school ball and you don't have a very good grasp of those rules, why waste time on a ruleset that you don't work?

as soon as I read his post, this is the first thing that came to my mind

and Salvatore's call seemed very unnecessary to me, Pierce did initiate contact and then he threw up a wild shot so if you dont blow the whistle on the contact then the Celtics had already been penalized by losing possession on the terrible shot

but he clearly travelled to initiate the contact and IMHO the travelling call should have been made
