I would say to Chuck that NFHS R4-S19-A13 and R10-S3-A7 define "faking being fouled" as an unsporting technical foul.

Yup, you're right about that, of course, Mark. And I even knew it before you posted the references. I guess I just don't see it as all that unsporting. I mean, if that's unsporting, is it unsporting when a kid makes his lay-up and then motions to you that he got hit on the arm? Isn't it the same thing? Trying to get you to call a foul on a guy who doesn't deserve it? It just seems too harsh.

And Chuck if you do read the NFHS thread do feel free to make comments about my books being in the attic.

It's not the books up there that I get a kick out of, Mark. It's the briefcases. Not briefcase, mind you. Briefcases. Kills me.
