When the pregame doesnt carry over to the game

Hey, try this one out next time. "If bodies go to the floor let make sure we know how they got there."

I like this approach MUCH better.

I do not agree with "we MUST have a whistle" just because of the way a play looks.

One of my pet peeves is when coaches/fans say, "that's gotta be something." Yes it does have to be something, it's called basketball. It's a contact sport and sometimes contact occurs that is not a foul, on a some occasions even when players end up on the floor, as mentioned earlier.

If you know how players got the ground you can explain a no call in situations like this. A whistle for the sake of having one in this instance is poor officiating IMO.

That is the phrase I use. I prefer to know why I am not calling something rather than guess and make a call that did not take place.
