so when a NBA REF of 25 years tells me when theres 20 sec left in a game with a 20 point margin to pass on a 3 second call that his line of thinking is not in line with any officiating philosophy at any level of play?

you cannot be serious

Now you're just changing up the play and the situation...and you're not even following you're own line of thinking. Your statement implied that an NBA official would pass on a clear and obvious violation in the first...but not later on in the game yet your situation is advocating ignoring an (unrealistic) violation in the fourth quarter of a blowout.

If you thought I was insulting you, then I apologize as it was not my intent.

For the record, I do think that most officials at all levels of play would use discretion in calling a 3 second violation in a 20 point blowout with 20 seconds left.

He didn't insult your intelligence, for the record. Just your line of reasoning on that particular issue.

I've been wrong on here often enough to realize I can't take criticism of my opinions personally.

Same here, but it sure does help to make you become a more knowledgable official!
