Dribbler cuts in front of defender

[ronald]

Well Jr, if I was being evaluated by IAABO board 12 and I called it correctly, they would have no problem with the call since they specifically went over situations of this nature.

Chuck has rarely seen it if I recall it correctly. So hopefully I will not have to make that call ever. I agree that most would not understand it and I would most likely feel pretty lonely out there.

Actually, I had a play similar to that early this season. Defender was going down the lane in his path and the offender was trying to beat him. Defender jumped in his vertical plane while the offender jumped into the defender making considerable contact. Called a PC and sure enough felt awkard.

Last time I did that this year. Had a couple others but no called them. Afterwards, wished I had called a PC. I thought I had cheated myself as an official. I believe thae when you make tough calls correctly, your confidence grows and you grow as an official and the next time you see the same play the call is easier.
