A player accidentally tripping is not the same as player being intentionally tripped. Also, I did not believe that the defender faked being fouled."
"And, yes Coach, I agree with you, I do look like George Clooney's identical twin."
Of course, if I'm short on patience, I could just simply give him the famous quote by that ancient, basketball official, Confucius, "There's a difference between being tripped, and tripping".
