Message: [QUOTE="housekeys, post: 4215801, member: 2379"] Which is why it is such a difficult call to make. There are two split second decisions a ref must make. First which is the pivot foot. Second, as you said, when they start to dribble. A player at the top of the key takes a pass and has both feet planted at nearly the same time, they stop. Which is the pivot foot? They lean left and go right and the official blows the whistle. Why? I agree that "indecision and hesitancy play a big part and the defense should get credit. But it is a tough call, and simply quoting the rule book and assuming the refs get it right is....IDK. [/QUOTE]
