If they are 'faking' a roll to the basket and the contact is obstructing the defender then I would be inclined to put a whistle on it.

JURASSIC - Above is my direct quote, what you did was highlight parts of my quote that you felt helped your point. I have put in bold the parts I think were being left out when quoted. What is being missed is the fact I said when I would be inclined to put a whistle on it and when not to put a whistle on it. I guess I can see where people would focus on the word ANY. However, it seems clear to me that since I stated where I would put a whistle on the play, the fact I used the word ANY would apply only to the first instance. If you would combine the words 'inclined' with the word 'any' you would get a better understanding of the posts intent. I'm sorry if my writing style is a bit to obtuse for some. And I do appreciate your attempt to combine the semantic and vernacular, now if we could just work on your quotation skills!
SNAQ I used the phrase 'basketball play' to infer that after the screen the cutter did nothing illegal. I can see how it can be taken as a non sequitor and apologize for any confusion. I can concede when I have misspoken, but I do not think that is the case here. Misunderstood, sure, misquoted absolutely, Ms America....welll...
