Only thing that bothers me is when people put $#!* in the game or go fishing for things......e.g:

calling violations that aren't there, calling fouls on marginal contact that don't affect the play, asking if a sleeve is for medical reasons, calling a T for a pre-game tap of the rim that nobody else in the gym saw.

My only quibble is in red. It must be regional/local/state differences, but here we ask. No documentation is required, but we ask.
