Faking Being Fouled ...

[Stat-Man]

Nice to see in writing that no matter how much the player (in this case a shooter) "embellishes" or “fakes”, if the “embellishing” or “faking” was subsequent to actual illegal contact, nor matter how slight, officials are to only charge the illegal contact foul and are to ignore the “faking”.

I wonder if any parts of Rome will encourage officials to call the foul and talk to the player during the dead ball about not embellishing the contact.

I know that I will, no matter where I live.

Just a quiet chat, one on one, especially if my partner is reporting.

My middle school games usually have plenty of "teachable moments".

I'm a retired thirty year veteran middle school teacher, that's why they assign me these games (also because I have severe arthritis in my right foot).
