FT violation or no?

I've never seen your situation happen but I will call it if I see it from now on.

I'm not calling that.

I'm not touching that one. By rule, it's a violation, but there's no disadvantage to the defense here. I know the rule doesn't require one, and I'm not always looking for one on FT lane violations, but there's no way I'm pulling this one out of the drain.

I'm not calling this either! I'd like to ref a few more years, don't think I will by making these types of calls.

Me neither.

imo, the purpose of the rule is to prevent gaining an advantage on rebounds or from jumping through the air toward the basket to make an easier shot (for some HS boys, probably a layup; form college and NBA, a dunk). This girl did neither.

Why would you anxious to call this? Everybody in the gym would wonder why you were blowing your whistle.

No way I get this. I might let her or the coach quietly know this is a violation, but not picking this nit.

[BryanV21]

I'm absolutely not making this call.

Calling that would create more of a problem than if you left it alone. The opposing coach has no idea if her feet crossed the plane of the free throw line (there's no way he/she sees this at their angle), and the shooter didn't gain advantage doing it either, so why bother creating an issue?

There is no part of my post that suggests I am anxious to make this call. Please don't assume that.

I've worked with you, I know you wouldn't, you're too good for that.

[Camron Rust]

Add one more to the not-calling list.

[just another ref]

Still trying to picture a sophomore girl shooting this kind of a jumper.

How many here are old enough to remember Jerry Lucas with the Knicks? This is what his shot looked like.

Ok, my bad.

So why after reading this thread do you now want to call it?
