And a fan is a fan. And fan is short for fanatic.

Regarding the intentional foul in the Kasnsas-Bucknell game, let me offer the rule to you. "It may or may not be premeditated and is not based on the severity of the act. It makes no difference how severe the contact was or wasn't. The defender met the rule requirement for the intetnional foul to be called. And we all know full well that he was trying to foul to prevent the KU player from scoring. We also know that you wouldn't have brought it up if this had been a foul called in UK's favorite.

In the NCAA Tournament, you have seen more intentional fouls, more technical fouls, and more player control fouls (that's "charging" in fan terms). Why? Because the NCAA wants the tournament officiated a certain way. If you're an official in the Big East, then you officiate the games the way the Big East wants them officiated. But if you're an official in the tourney and want to continue working deeper and deeper, you do what Hank Nichols says to do.

Here endeth the lesson.
