Storm vs. Liberty - Last Night

[just another ref]

My hang up is that the discussion went from "the contact was/wasn't sufficient to affect the play and justify a foul call" to "cuz Dad said so."

Somebody important once posted the interpretation that when B1 tips the ball into the backcourt and A1 catches it without allowing it to first hit the floor that it is a violation.

A lot of us still haven't accepted that one.

That's a rules debate concerning the misapplication and misinterpretation of said rule.

This discussion is about judgement. You would think you'd be able to distinguish between the two.

Well if my dad was in charge of grading my call percentages, and said something is or isn't a foul, then his word is final...I mean you don't have to agree but you'll be getting your calls graded as incorrect.

For some reason, I feel like we're talking about a blarge...something that everyone seems to have no real problem with except you.

And that somebody doesn't sign any of our checks; metaphorically or otherwise.
