BBarnaky, It appeared to me the intent by the def. was to get a common foul called from the beginning, and the officials weren't buying it. For them to call a common foul in the beginning would have been unfair to the team with the ball. I think they were correct to wait for a legitimate common foul. I also believe the def. knew who they wanted to foul and that is why they were intentionally trying to foul from the center of the lane.
