Message: [QUOTE="CousCuse, post: 1146881, member: 4127"] The basketball call [I]has to be called[/I] at the exact moment of the foul or it would appear the ref was ruling on what he thought he remembered seeing and not what he was seeing in real time. So, he has to anticipate the instant of foul. The football penalty has no temporal imperative. A sequence of events [I]must happen[/I] for the ref to blow the whistle; 1. The ball must be snapped cleanly to the QB 2. The QB must posses the bowl totally 3. the QB must make a downward throwing motion so the ball strikes the ground ,at all times the QB must display complete control of the ball during this motion. Then , and only then can a whistle for stoppage of time be blown. [/QUOTE]
