Personally I think a completely wrong call is worse.
To say it's better to just let it pass is kind of like penalizing a team twice for the same action.

You are certainly not the Lone Ranger on this one. Happened to me about 3 years ago. In my case it was in a State Finals (televised) -- Ouch!

Had I not called out "block" I doubt I would've made a call, though, which is why I asked the philosophical question. Last edited by Rich; Thu Feb 04, 2010 at 02:07pm. |

I wasn't saying you would pass only that doing so is worse. I think the women's rule is better. Initially you would here whinning from the coach losing the foul. Clearly better IMO to get the right call and move on. No one wins here.

If there is the question: "What about you? What did you call?" The answer: "Nothing." Been there. Done that.

For the record, I absolutely agree with you, in principle. However, the rule is there, in black and white. I don't agree with it either, but I have to abide by it. Just like I don't agree with coaches being able to request TO's during live balls, but I still abide by it. I certainly cannot lie and say I didn't hear them, just so I can "impose" my own way of doing things, or my own philosophies. There's a big difference between simply disagreeing with a rule or case, and purposely going against it. By purposely lying about what you did, you lose credibility with your other calls that game, and you may also lose credibility with any members of the committee who might be reading this forum and considering changing that particular rule. So, don't screw up the cause.
