Perhaps it's... wait for it, my favourite word... preventative. If it doesn't stop in the last minute, we'll have players crossing the end line grabbing their opponents to foul to try to stop the clock. That'll lead to more problems.
On the other hand, it could just be an attempt to make the game more exciting for fanboys.

HUH??? It DOESN'T stop in the last minute! And I haven't seen anyone cross the end line to grab the opponent!! Never in 8 years. So if it doesn't happen, it can't lead to more problems. And how does it make it more exciting for fanboys to stop the clock after a made basket? |

The point, I take it, is that the existence of the penalty is in itself a deterrent to the penalized act and is thus "preventative."
You're right, though, that calling a foul does not prevent that instance of the foul.

![]() OK, you tell me, Scappy......whatinthehell is preventive officiating then? Does it even exist if somebody has the option of ignoring an official's attempt at preventive officiating? According to your logic, preventive officiating can't exist. Last edited by Jurassic Referee; Tue Aug 14, 2007 at 03:32pm. |

"Clear the lane!" "Hands off!" "Straight up, guys!" There are penalties that you can enforce, if a player handchecks or dislodges a player in the low post or stays in the lane for 3 seconds. But with 2 or 3 words, the player doesn't actually commit the infraction. That's preventive. You've actually prevented the infraction. Hence the name "preventive officiating". See the connection now? ![]() |

You can only try to help prevent players from committing infractions - you cannot prevent them from doing anything. Otherwise there would be no infractions. Your argument holds no water - it's no different than saying the penalty is preventative. You're essentially agreeing with JR here. |

And if they don't (1)clear the lane,(2)keep their hands off, or (3) don't go straight up, then howinthehell can you call it preventive officiating? You haven't prevented anything. All you're doing is telling a player not to break a specific rule. Which was exactly my point...... The rule on intentional fouls for a defender going OOB and fouling an opponent on a throw-in is preventive! It was put into the book to stop defenders from pulling that nonsense. Aamof, you can also say that every rule in the book is preventive in nature. Whether it actually prevents what it was intended to prevent is irrelevant. And further.... if stopping the clock in the last minute is supposedly "preventive", then what is preventing a defender from STILL going OOB and fouling the thrower, even though the clock is stopped? |

Geeze, poor scimpy's getting an old fashioned beat down here.
