re: Most Misinterpreted rule/call in sports is what, IYO?

Is there a clear definition of what a block and charge is though? I think the problem is how vague they are defined.

---

Tell me what a strike is then and then show me where it's called correctly. Then show me two people who call the zone the same.

With that I agree 100%. I thought it was referring something straightforward.

Charge in basketball. Guess what... you don't have to have your feet planted to take a charge.

definetly balks

fans always call for it on 3rd to 1st moves even though it has never been called a balk. you think they would eventually catch on.

agree with catch/no catch.

After watching tons of football this year, I was sure that it was only a catch if you controlled the ball all the way to the ground while being tackled/made extremely obvious football moves i.e. taking like 4 or 5 steps.

Then I watched UNC score a TD where the WR was standing still and caught the ball in the end zone but as he was tackled, he tried to switch the ball to a different hand and he dropped it. SOmehow they reviewed it and called it a catch.

I have no idea how the rules work anymore

holding

I have to go with catch/no catch.

With sports like baseball and basketball you can usually get a good idea of how the ump or ref will make the calls once things get going.

Catch/no catch doesn't happen often enough in each game for players and coaches to know how each ref is going to make the call. W/how few plays actually happen in a game it magnifies each time it happens by quite a bit.
