[Jurassic Referee]

[/B][/QUOTE]
Jurassic Ref, I will use my option to give a general answer. I can't tell you that I would call a foul simply because the player goes to the floor. I think these plays need to be called on a play by play basis, not with some all encompassing statement. If a player is on a fast break and some secondary defender comes over and blocks the shot and the offensive player is totally under control and gets knocked to the floor I would probably have a foul. [/B][/QUOTE]Eli.please let me give you 2 direct quotes by yourself from earlier in thus thread.Note that they both relate to Crew's original post about a shooter being knocked to the ground.
1)"in my opinion once the defender blocks the shot,secondary defender or not,contact after the shot should not be considered a foul unless extremely violent".
2)"
actually,I would not have a foul on this play even in a junior high game".
I'm trying to understand where you're coming from,but you're all over the place.You're giving us 2 completely different philosophies.Don't call a foul on a defender knocking a shooter to the floor unless it's extremely violent?Excuse me,but I think that those are called "flagrant fouls" and the NBA even has 'em.Do not try to tell me that I took the above quotes out of context either-they directly relate to the original posting.I think I'm gonna let this one go now.I've learned enough.
