Billy, I would strongly object to this being downgraded to just a violation. I have relied on this call to be my ace-in-the-hole when engaged in a 'Referee's Liar's Poker' competition. You know, where the most outrageous call of the game wins an adult beverage. Very useful in keeping your interest up in a blow-out...

Last weekend I had a partner, a forty-five year veteran official, call a swinging-the-elbows violation. After the game, I asked him, "What did you do, pull that one out of your *ss?"

Punching the ball, flopping T, face guarding, and 10 second violation.....on a FT shooter.

Read 'em and weep...four Ts... elbow locking, player lifting, a team with numbers 0 and 00, and taunting after the fourth quarter horn.

#32 Blue, smoking a stogie and chewing a plug of Red Man while pulling out his jersey to wipe juice from his chin. Standing at FT line waiting to shoot FT where 14 Blue was the foulee!!! Gives finger to opposing bench...

I had this -- I swear I counted to 17 and he still wasn't going to shoot, before I called it!
