I highly doubt it, as it seems like I am 0 for 30 when sharing principles that havent trickled down to the HS level & apparently some small college leagues yet.

As for your negative comments about me as a person, its not that at all. I'm in a great mood & really would like for it to stay this way on a Monday morning after a 7 hr drive home last night.

Me passing on breaking down why its ok for a non-calling official to provide info (the player started his habitual motion) to the calling official when he puts him on the ground as opposed to on the FT line is called being smart by not allowing myself to get caught up in Forum debates that turn sour by name calling due to ignorance.

If you have not heard of a partner telling the calling official "he had him going up" be patient, its coming to a City near you soon. If you dont want to wait, try going to some camps out of your region or at higher levels than you normally attend.
At the end of the day the calling official still has the decision to change it or keep it the same or even worse ask "are you sure."

Afterall, isnt putting a player on the floor when he should be shooting a misapplication of the rules, by rule? Either that or their judgment is just cloudy or they "think" the players arms have to be moving in an upward motion or whatever that bs myth is.

You certainly would provide info when your partner attempts to shoot FTs on an offensive (PC or TC) foul... wouldnt ya?
When the L administers the FT & says 2 when its really 3 or 1 you would provide info from the C or T... wouldnt ya?
When the AP arrow isnt working or you know the table missed switching it, you would provide that info to official administering the incorrect throw-in (before the throw-in is complete) wouldn't ya?

Just a team officiating concept man. Because they paid for a CREW of 3 that works together not 3 individuals letting each other live & die with incorrect decisions that ruin the GAME.
