On the original play that crew brought up I was thinking more along the lines of an Allen Iverson trying to weave his way through Robert Horry and Shaq and Iverson is off balance putting up some crazy shot that Shaq deposits in the fifth row and then Shaq makes body contact with Iverson which sends Iverson to the floor only because he was off balance anyway. A foul here would not fit the game and would be a bail out call. [/QUOTE]

Eli...I'm glad you brought up Bail outs....as a rec player, I used to hate it when Refs would bail a guy out of his circus act jump shot after incidental contact....look...if you come flying in the lane out of control leaning left following a 360 spin move (much the way I dive into bed at night....BTW, my wife hates when I do that), in my mind you give up a small portion of "AIRBORNE SHOOTER". I cant stand a guy bailed out because he can long jump into the paint while doing a triple gainor....I'm 6'4", 275lbs....where the hell can I go or what can I do to defend....

Now case in point....incidental contact...no foul....hard contact while in mid air....foul....at least in my ROOKIE opinion.

Larks...Rookie FAT guys cant jump therefore we are ALWAYS in control!
