One For The Books, Or Your Book ...

Mark Padgett: I don't think that I've called this, or even observed this, twice in my twenty-eight year career. I think that I may have called this once, and maybe the similar, but different, reach across the line and hit the player intentional foul, once. You had this twice in one game, on the same player!

Please allow me to interject to bust a myth:
The defender may not break the imaginary plane during a throwin until the ball has been released on a throw-in pass. If the defender breaks the imaginary plane during a throwin before the ball has been released on a throw-in pass, the defender’s team will receive a team warning, or if the team has already been warned for one of the four delay situations, this action would result in a team technical foul. If the defender contacts the ball after breaking the imaginary plane, it is a player technical foul and a team warning will be recorded. If the defender fouls the inbounding player after breaking the imaginary plane, it is an intentional personal foul, and a team warning will be recorded.

I can't believe that I used the word interject. I swear that I've never, ever, used that word before. I had to look up the definition to make sure it was the right word for what I meant to say. Now I'm positive that the ghost of mbyron visited me in a dream of some type last night. No more gruel before I go to bed.
