Chuck. Advantage/disadvantage does not explain allowing "backing down". The offensive player is the one committing the foul and gaining the advantage by committing the foul. If the NBA wants "backing down" write it into the rules, failure to enforce the rules causes people to look for a reason the rule is not being enforced, hince the "jaded view".

JRutledge, Kevin and Chuck both slammed triggerMN for the "jaded view" re. a lack of understanding of the rules. I am suppling the rule cite and the example that supports the "jaded view".

My 14 year old son likes to watch certian NBA players, I join him. When he has not asked me to watch a game with him, I do not watch the NBA, for this reason, I much prefer college ball or soccer.
