Foul in 1st Qt....Not Foul in 4th Qt.

Now it is at the end of the game...one minute left, 30 pt blowout...A1 with the lead, goes up for a shot, B1 with a pretty good slap on the wrist...ball goes in...Have the courage to LET IT GO!

I think all the refs on this board would agree with this principle.

BUT....

Instead of a 30 pt game with 1:00 to go, make it a tie game with :05 to go, Team A has a chance to win.

Instead of a "pretty good slap" make it a "moderate slap", enough to disrupt the shot, but not really hard contact.

Instead of a normal game make it a heated BV playoff game between two rivals, in Team A's chaotic gym, with its positively carcinogenic fans, two howling coaches, and players bangin' o plenty under the glass.

NOW let the debate begin.
