There was a rain delay at indy, and the hockey game was not on yet, so I sacked up and watched a little of the nets -hornets game. Nothing too impressive, way too many missed Ft's, but there was one interesting play. JAson Kidd ran into a guy on the break. The announcers called it a "clear path to the basket" foul. The hornets got a free throw and the ball back.
Does anyone know what this is? Is this the NBA version of the intentional foul? It sounded like if there was no one else in the frontcourt (incidentally, they kept calling it the backcourt), and the defender is not between the offensive player and the ball, it was an automatic "clear path" call if there was a foul.
After 10 minutes or so I remembered by I rarely watch the ballet.
