Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3242622, member: 5798"] Referees are taught to not watch the ball. If you do, you’ll miss a good game. The ref closest to the ball watches it. He’s also looking for touch fouls when a player is shooting. The other two watch for body fouls, reaching, grabbing and holding. It amazes me how we can sit in the stands and see everything, and in some cases, they’re standing 5 feet away for a play (foul) and don’t see it. Post players are always alerting the refs about opposing players holding and grabbing them. That goes on every game the entire game. Somebody always has an advantage, either size or speed. The only way to try and compensate is to reach and grab and hope you don’t get caught. What do you do if your man is quicker than you? :confused: [/QUOTE]
