Our other esteemed associate answers direct questions by launching off on a tangent in another random direction.

I never once said if its a foul but he already has one don't call it. I said according to some here, using the foul is a foul no matter how many a player has or what the situation is, its a foul. My point to all of this was in situation such as this, when you have match ups and a player has a certain number of fouls and his next one will put him on the bench you should, for the good of the game, make sure it is a good foul. Calling a second foul 2 and half minutes into a game on a center who grabs a players arm for a second but doesn't prevent that player from getting to the ball and dunking it is a bad foul call. If he prevent the player from getting the ball its a foul, nothing I can do to help him out. Do we make judgements based on who the player is and what the situation is? Of course we do. If you say we don't then you just don't get it.
