You're right on one thing though. I sureashell certainly don't know any "high level" official that would ever delay the call until a basket was made and then call a delayed intentional or flagrant personal foul on a off-ball foul that occured before the basket was made.

I also hope that I will never,ever know any official that would do something like that either- at any level.
Just for my own edification, JR, remind me what you'd call or not call if there was a foul off-ball that is committed to stop an undefended fast break.

And then bring me some popcorn!
Two choices- whichever feels right on that particular play.

1) Ignore it completely.
2) Intentional personal foul.

I doubt very much that any defender would ever take the contact to the flagrant stage just to try and stop a break.

I can explain (or sell) either of those choices if asked. I can't logically explain the late whistle option laid out above. It's never a good idea imo to call something that you can't explain later.

What would you do, Juulie?
