Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1657487, member: 40"] Cowtown, thank you for providing such detailed explanations. It certainly puts a different / insider spin on this type of debate. My question to you is--it doesn't sit well with me that rules are situationally enforced as you describe. Isn't that exactly what led to the usual suspects[i.e., the Pitinos, the Buzz Williams, the Jamie Dixons, etc.] and other coaches like them turning the game into rock fights in the first place? I 100% resonate with your point about if advantages are gained or not gained often being the determinant of a whistle, but it seems like some of this stuff could be cleaned up fairly easily if the officials took concerted action, and didn't allow certain teams to get away with fouling 99% of possessions and daring refs to make calls. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
