1. 10 second free throw
2. 3 seconds
3. palming
4. multiple fouls

Perhaps that is why the NFHS has made each of these POEs in the past two couple of years. There are too many officials out there who have the mindset which you espouse here that making these calls is outside of the norm. It appears that the NFHS desires to change that culture.

Let me ask you this, Nevada. How many 3 second calls do you make per game? Or how many per season?

You may well be right, but as Rut is fond of saying, I don't work for the NFHS. If I start making the call when 55 has his foot on the lane line out of play, I'll be doing freshman ball. If I don't learn then, I'll be working middle school ball.

As for palming, I agree. Again, however, I don't work for the NFHS, I work for my association.
