Per NFHS Rules, after a flagrant personal foul where is ball inbounded?

At the spot OOB nearest to where the foul occured.

What is a flagrant fout? :)

Can't find it in the dictionary....sounds French to me.

Must be a FIBA rule.

Padgett's the expert on those....

Forget the flagrant part, what's a fout?

Without looking (honest) A flagrant foul is a personal or technical foul of a violent or savage nature which may or may not be intentional.

How'd I do?

He played quarterback for the San Diego Chargers. If you'll give me an "s".

Not too bad!! :)

"Fouting" is what the french do when they pass gas. Most of the time, it's flagrant and fragrant. Penalty is having to eat two plates of snails plus loss of possession (of the snails, after a few minutes). It's FEEBLE rule number MLXVII. :p

ha
 

haha

LOL!!!

Glad you liked it, QuebecRef. I'd make a longer comment but my Freedom Fries are ready to come out of the oven.

A flagrant foul is a flagrantly unsportsmanlike foul (disqualifying foul) the player will be disqualified and the opposing team shall be award two free throws and possesion at mid court.

Maybe down under, but not under our rules. Padgett!!!!!!!!!! Shoo the FEEBLE ref away!!!!!!!!

I thoroughly no both sets of rules and belive both rules have there flaws but strongly belive fiba are better rules to follow.

Just curious if English is your first language?

I must agree that it's illogical to inbound the ball at midcourt after a intentional/flagrant foul during live ball. But since I don't know thoroughly every set of rules, let me ask you guys a question: What's so feeble about FIBA rules??

Nah, he speaks Aussie. But then, we speak American.

No, we speak 'Murcun.

Don't get me started!!!

I'd love to!! :D But I'm serious. I don't want to read 3 whole rulebooks just to see the superiority of the American rule sets! ;) So can any of you point me out the main differences that make FIBA rules so worthless?

Thanks!

OK, here goes. It's not that their rules are worthless, it's much more philosophical than that. Basketball was invented by a Canadian working in the U.S. For many years, this was the only place it was even played. Then the Euros come along and establish a "world governing body" for what is really our sport. They think they know better than us what rules are best for the sport. To me, this would be like some U.S. organization claiming it was the world governing body for opera. I guess you could say it's a feeling of resentment.

When you add that nation of surrender monkeys over there to the mix, and understand that the initials in FIBA aren't even in English (the home language of the founding country - the U.S.), it's no wonder some of us feel the way we do about the situation.

Mostly, it's all in fun (really) and nothing malicious is intended. Actually the french (I'll start capitalizing it when they earn the right by finally winning a war) do make good pastry.

OK!!! Now I understand!

So I see it's more hate than disagreement that you guys feel against FIBA! ;)

BTW, I didn't know that the number of wars won was a known criteria to capitalize or not the name of a population... :rolleyes:

Oh yes! Here's to really get you started. I took that quote from the FIBA website:
Go ahead! You got an open shot!! :D

Just another reinforcement that FIBA stands for Foreign Idiots, Buttheads and A$$holes. :)

And yes, capitalization is totally dependent upon success in war. Didn't you know that? It's in the Geneva Convention. ;)

Hmm...when was the last time Geneva won a war? Shouldn't it be the geneva convention? ;)

I was referring to Geneva, Illinois. ;)

You mean the annual Aluminum Siding Manufacturers of America's Convention and Trade Show, held in Geneva Illinois every year?

Oh, yea - the famous conflict between Geneva and Batavia! I thought Batavia came out on top? :p

(My wife grew up in Batavia; I'm just sticking up for her hometown.)

I lived in Aurora for a while back in 1969-70. That whole area is really picturesque.

Damn, then I've been doing the same mistake for several years! We should write: <font size=48>U</font>nited <font size=48>S</font>tates of <font size=48>A</font>merica!! :rolleyes:

You would be surprised to see it now. It's still has that small-town feel, but due to urban sprawl it is now a continuation of the Chicago suburbs. I grew up in Westchester, I remember as a kid driving out through the farmland to get to places like Santa's Village, and the Candlelight Dinner Theater. I think those places are still there, but the farmland isn't. It's just another suburb.

Now THAT'S flagrant!

And damn proud of it!
