If you haven't seen this particular cheep foul ... stick around, you might. All of you guys have been right too, not much contact, yet it is difficult to make the layup. My initial experience with this foul was almost a mirror image of what Jurassic discribed. I missed the first one, and found myself wondering why the offensive play just kinda flailed around. The defender was all proud of himself for getting one past me. Nothin' "Ticky-Tack" about it.

Fortunately, I haven't seen if very often, but Man Oh Man if you ever do, you might want to get it right.
Well, if I'm ever that lucky that I'm able to stick around long enough to attain your vast amount of experience and knowledge, Joe, hopefully then I will be able to get that call right-- just like you. Until then, I can only dream......

Lah me.
