I'll post this one more time and then I'm done.
1- There's nothing in the rule book that says fighting during a live ball is a personal foul. If I've missed it, then please point it out for me.
2- The rule book does say that fighting is a technical foul.
10-3-10
A player shall not:
Be charged with fighting
Penalty: Flagrant technical foul
3-The rule book does say that fighting can occur during a live ball.
4-18
Fighting is a flagrant act and can occur when the ball is dead or live.
The case book refers to it as a personal. You certainly entitled to use that interpretation. But the rule book states it's a flagrant T. I do not see anything wrong with going by the rule book. The only difference in any of this is where the ball is spotted for the throw-in. You still have ejections, and probably suspensions. You may have FTs or you may not. So, quite frankly, it doesn't matter to me how each of you call it.
But we are not wrong for calling a flagrant T. We may be in disagreement with the way you call it, but we are not wrong.
Here endeth the lesson.
