Looks like Chucks post above is exactly the point I was trying to make with the sitch I described in the "Coach takes a charge post" that you lambasted me for.

I'm glad I am not alone in what I thought adv/disadv to be. In my post, the impression I tried to make was that the dribbler was not hindered in any way.

I hear ya kenna...

But in that other thread you made reference to a midcourt foul committed on a breakaway. You would not have known if the dribbler was hindered in that situation until he made it all the way to the basket and scores (using your criteria). My point was that if there is illegal contact you need to make that call as opposed to incidental contact.

Oh yeah, if you felt lambasted, I apologize for any ill-will generated by my words as I never mean to be offensive.
