I would have to disagree. I truly feel the ultimate responsibility really falls on the honesty of a player while shooting. If any shooter is known to know the rules, follow them, and respect the game and opponent enough to call their own bad hits when they occur, then third party's might not be involved as often. I've really found that it is rare, but necessary that referees are called more often on some teams/players because they have proven to be unreliable when calling their own shots, whether it be double hits, not hitting their own ball, hitting a rail, elevated cue, etc.
P.S. Honestly, there are a very few people it wouldn't hurt to have a referee watch EVERY shot, just because of the things they unreasonably do, followed by even being more unreasonable by calling their shots legal.
I think the key phrase in Jill's reply is "for no good reason". It's one thing to protect yourself from a team that repeatedly calls bad hits good, just because they know the call will go to the shooter. But it's quite another to call a tournament official over to watch a shot where the cue ball has to travel two feet, pass the 8-Ball, then travel two MORE feet to get to the object ball. I had to watch that one last month at Regionals...

I've been in a few situation where the cue ball and the object ball are about 1/2 cm apart and while making the shot, the cue ball felt heavier, but I didn't feel 2 hits with the cue. So is it normal and also is that considered 2 hits?
