Drake, this is an interesting situation. You have a personal foul for the push. Then the attempted undercut. The ball is still live, even after the personal foul. So was this a technical foul ("WHACK")? If there is contact, and the ball is still live, normally it should be personal. But I've never seen one player called for two personal fouls on the same play. (At least, not in basketball. I've seen it in lacrosse, tho!
)
Was your T b/c of additional contact? Or was it b/c you thought he was being unsportsmanlike? And in general, has anyone ever called, or would anyone ever consider, calling two personals on the same player for the same play?
I'm not being critical of Drake's call. The whole situation just started a wierd train of thought. (Shut up, JR!
