Mark,I'll give you the same reply here that I gave over on Mcgriffs.You will have one heckuva time trying to sell a foul call on a defender who got "all ball" with no player contact.If the player with the ball is in the air and the same thing happens,are you going to call a jump ball or a foul?By your logic,it has to be a foul.I can just hear the following:
--Bob Knight--"where'd he get him?"
--Mark T.--"on the ball"!
--Bob Knight--CENSORED!
