Are you saying that the NF and NCAA have jurisdiction in Europe? Or better yet are you saying that the NBA has jurisdiction in Europe?

I am saying that there is rules support for there not being a foul. Unlike you I have actually quote rules on why I feel there was not an "obvious foul" as you have indicated it was.

What officials? Some suit from the NBA office? You mean some guy that has never put on a whistle in any kind of game has said there was a foul? Or are you talking about some guy that claims they officiate basketball says it was a foul or is not a foul. There is a difference you know.

You said all levels. If you have been officiating in Europe than you have not been exposed to "all levels" as you have stated. Considering that the vast majority of NBA players and officials come from The United States of America (a place you have never officiated according to your own comments) and come from a high school sports system that I have been exposed to, then I find it difficult to believe you know what happens or is expected in this country.
In my opinion this makes your claims this "was a foul at all levels" as puzzling. Then again, I am still waiting for a single rule to back up your claim that this was a foul and nothing but a foul. If it was selective officiating, then show a rule that suggests the officials did not follow the rules? I know at the NF and NCAA level this play fit clearly as a play that could not be called as a foul. Then again, do not let the facts get in the way of a good story.
