I agree completely with what you have said!

The problem is that we call, or don't call, fouls, based on advantage, and disadvantage, not to keep the game flowing, but to make sure that each team has a fair chance to win based on how well that team plays that night. We interrupt the game everytime we blow the whistle. That's part of the game of basketball. As an official, we should never, never, worry about interrupting the flow of the game.

I couldn't put it better. That's what I meant. I didn't mean to place the emphasis on the interruption, but call the fouls that need to be called and lay off the ones that have no bearing on advantage/disadvantage or displacement. I should have said don't interrupt the game unnecessarily. So change "gameus interruptus" to "unnecessarius gameus interruptus". |
