Message: [QUOTE="m1c, post: 2453336, member: 1944"] [b]Re: Finals Week 3 Discussion[/b] Agree with AP - according to the rule book he 'regained' it. However any sane person would come to the conclusion that he lost it. There definitely needs to be some common sense applied to these decisions, I'd be surprised if the rule book isn't amended to that effect over the offseason. The main area of contention seems to be the grounding of the ball, and IMO this is because we have tried to take any subjectivity out of making these decisions. Seems good in theory, however this is how we've ended up with 'separation' and tries such as Slater's last night where he clearly was not in control. With the benefit of hindsight it has definitely not been for the better. Super-slow-mo' replays have counter-intuitively created more problems than solved. A passage of play lasting a blink in real time is being elongated to 10 or 12 seconds as the frames are slowed. In the process all context of the movement is lost. Decision making has become overcomplicated and often the sum of an objective check-list does not add up to the answer many arrive at when watching a put-down at normal, or slightly slower speed. To me this suggests the process either needs to be further refined or completely scrapped. [/QUOTE]
