A Minor Point For Newbies ...

Nitpicking for the newbies.

No taps? In thirteen games? Unless prehistoric rules are being used (that will get Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.'s attention), a player fouled in the act of tapping is treated the same as if he was fouled in the act of shooting, and is awarded free throws. No "gather" on a tap.

4-42-6: A tap shall be considered the same as a try for field goal.

Just want to clear this up for the newbies. I am certain that JRutledge knows the rule.
