Legal pick?

We can't pass on fouls. We can pass on marginal contact.

If we pass on FOULS, we are picking and choosing which rules to enforce.

I'm not trying to split hair nor throw myself into a heated discussion (hence I've refrained from discussing the OP) but I don't think any of us can say we call absolutely everything by the book. For instance, do we call three seconds EVERY instance that someone is in the lane for three seconds? I would hope not. In fact I've been told more times than I can count (which admittedly isn't very high), that only a truly bad official would call it when it has no baring on the game. Just my 1-cent.
