Please.
I asked you a specific question and you basically lied about what was in the rules wording. Not only is the phrase, "Protect the shooter" not in the rule, the only word that is the same is "the" in the actual wording. The point was not trying to embarrass you; the point was to just show how we use phrases that are not always rules based or wording coming directly out of the rulebook. Your claim was people were not following the rules and you could not understand that thinking. Well I at least referenced actual wording by talking about "normal offensive and defensive movements" which is clearly used in 4-27. Of course what one person thinks is normal is abnormal to someone else, but this play would usually not be called a foul at the higher levels of with similar talent on the floor. Heck the almost exact same play took place in Game 4 of this series and nothing was called. I am sure the NBA reviewed that play with their staff and said it was either a foul correctly called or missed.
