I agree with NevadaRef. One has nothing until one has something. Then stop the game. Signal the foul. Charge the foul. And then get on with the game.

I'm all for looking "strong," but I'm not so sure about "selling" it. There's a difference. Don't look like you're unsure of the call, but don't look like you're trying to convince everyone in the building, either.

Our former local board interpreter, also a former assistant chair of the IAABO education committee, also a former NCAA Division I tournament official, and now an evaluator of basketball officials for a state athletic association, in other words, an official with very good credentials, always told us that , "The best bad call is a strong bad call".
