Casebook have been sited and a camp instructor has given us some info on who gets called for most of the fouls even though it appears the offense is guilty of some the foul calls.

At the clinic I went to, they used the analogy of cars going in a path. Now let's put the cars in the casebook situation or the one for this situation. Who caused the freaking car accident? Not the poor guy who was driving (running) along minding his own business who was suddenly cut in front of by some other driver who got to some point a split second before you did. Common sense you talk about. Can not get too much clearer. You caused the accident and will pay a hefty price if you gots lots of money for driving like that. Not only that, you could be guilty of manslaughter or negligent homicide if people were to perish. Let's apply the same common sense to two people on the basketball court where one is running in a straigth path and the other cuts in front of his path. And remember what's the important characteristic to look at in this analogy-not that cars and humans are different.

It's up to the officials to comprehend this action on the court and enforce the penatly correctly. Too many are giving a no call (I have) or calling it on the defense (not me)
