You say stupidity. I say enforcement. Either way, you do what you're taught.

I don't see a big deal about whistling a three-seconds violation, or any foul in the low post (providing I watch the play through). But again, I was taught that it's not a big deal. IAABO is my universe (travel and rec league games notwithstanding), so like anywhere else, you adhere to the celestial laws.

I talk a fair amount officiating soccer ("hands DOWN!"... "keeper has it" .... "PLAY ON!!!"), but it helps when you don't have to keep the whistle in your mouth.

Now, that's something that you'll find in any universe!
