Where does one draw the line? At what point is the offensive advantage "good enough" that you don't blow the whistle?

If I were a player/coach I'd prefer the the lay-up/ open jumper over FTs or taking the ball out just to start all over again.

Draw the line? That's the sweet art aspect of what we do!! Gotta have a feel for the game... what each player can/can't play through...

I'd rather be late & right, than too quick & wrong.

Funny how that pertains to more than officiating
