Would you call this palming violation?

[just another ref]

I was wondering if the person who cast the single negative vote would care to comment and explain his position on this issue. I can only guess it would be something along the lines of "Don't let a call like this decide the game," of something equally profound.

In one of my first varsity games, I called a lane violation on the offense with 3 seconds left on a free throw that would have iced the game, then called a travel prior to the release on a potential game tying 3 pointer at the buzzer. It missed anyway.

And you would be wrong...I voted no simply to see if it would generate any comments/cause anything to come out of the woodwork. So far - only your question.

The OP seemed like such an easy call to make, I just wanted to stir something up from people who hold the opinion you put above...

And they are out there. This thread kinda scared me. If it had turned out that that was Tony's position, the world as I know it would cease to exist.

I agree it's a very easy call to make, which is why I can't believe the thread is still active. I voted, read the first two posts and then didn't bother to look at it again until just now when I noticed that there are more than 30 replies.
