advantage lost

The hoop and the harm play is not an A/D play. The shoot or the dribbler driving to the hoop is often protected better than other players. The shooting foul is called before the official knows whether basket is good.

There is also a difference between girls vs. boys. The girl players is often disrupted by a simple foul whereas a boy maybe able to athletically muscle through it and MAINTAIN HIS ADVANTAGE. This is often when a foul is not called - rather than end the play, the dribbler, offensive player is allowed to continue through the initial foul and score, make the pass, receive a pass... etc.
