3) Pile on me all you want. I come here to learn, but I'm also not going to back down from what I think is right and what I have learned. My philosophy has worked for me so far and it seems to be right in line w/ others who I pattern my game after.

Not everything is black and white. I'm not going to get into this debate right now, but end of game situations are a glaring example of it.

mu4scott:

You say that you are coming here to learn and then refuse to learn. If the contact is legal, no matter how bad it looks, it is NOT a foul. Calling it a foul when it is NOT a foul is NOT good game management; it is incorrect officiating. Rut and I are not piling on you; but we are telling you the correct way to do things.

I think the last 6-7 pages of this thread have repeated the same point/counter-point at least 15 times now. This thread is now officially in rerun syndication mode.

Shouldn't that be "The Grand Poo Bah of Basketball Officiating."

Mark I never once said that was not the case. I fully realize that hard screens can be legal. I've never disputed that.

I'm talking about this specific play. It's very clear that she leans into her and should be called for an illegal screen. Is anyone disputing that?

Nope, what's being disputed is the relevance of any other criteria that have been brought up; score, time, player's skill, whether you can explain it to a coach, game management., etc.
If you think she stepped into the contact, it's a foul. If you don't think she stepped in, it's a no-call. Game management has nothing to do with it. GM might call for an intentional if you think it was illegal (although I'm backing down from that one now) and excessive. GM might call for an IW to give her a second to recover. GM might call for an explanation to the coach of what you saw. GM may call for simply no whistle.

Here's the problem with bringing GM up here to defend why you have to make a call; you don't know how GM fits in from watching only one play.

It's just the kind of mean spiritedness that drove Dan away.

Do not waste your breathe (or fingers) he will not understand what you are saying. He will just say GM is only about what you call.

Ooh, does that mean there's a chance we might drive JR away?

Or is he like that proverbial bad penny?
