Agreed...as I said in my last post, definitely my fault for not communicating my thoughts correctly. The big difference between talking with someone and posting in a chat room, something I am not used to.

My intention was to say that in these "under the basket" situations, PC foul is sometimes but NOT ALWAYS the right call (such as the original situation stated which I still maintain was one where shooter should not be penalized).

My other point was that we officials constantly massage the rules, apply/do not apply them, according to the natural flow of the game, and this may be an example of that.
