Least called call

[Mark Padgett]

Again, this comes out of a conversation I was having with another official. Out of all the calls under NF rules, which is the one you've called the least (or maybe never) in your career. For me, it's basket interference on a free throw.

My buddy agreed and put "false multiple foul" in second place. Actually, I've called that every so often.

What about you?

[Mark Dexter]

I, too, have called BI on a free throw. Unfortunately, I passed on the technical that should have gone with it.

I would have to say that the "normal" violation/foul (i.e., no multiple fouls ) that I call least often is a 3-second violation.

I've never called fisting. I've never called a simultaneous foul. Never had BI on a free throw.

By "fisting", I assume you mean a violation for hitting the ball with your fist. BTW - I have absolutely no idea what this poster means.

After reading up the definition of a multiple foul, I once called it. Player driving in for a layup was foul at the top of the key, his momentum took him in for a layup, which another player came across and hampered him again shooting the layup. I probably should have made it a false multiple foul or a false double foul, all hell, I don't know to be technically correct. However, the coach didn't like my call and we almost came to blows. Since I knew him from my playing days, the argument was more about the call then it was personal. The call cause so much comotion that I'm hestiant to use it again.

In fact, I did use it again and it encountered the same reaction. After about 10 minutes getting everybody settle back down, we got back to play. So I have decided to screw the multiple foul, that 2nd foul on the same player will be a technical foul.

Not only will this get an even bigger reaction (that seems to be what you're worried about here), it's the wrong call and can't be made with rules backing. If the 2nd foul is one that needs to be called, it's simply another personal shooting foul.
I'm almost afraid to ask, but how did you administer it when you did call the simultaneous foul?

Excuse me! How was it the wrong call?

Incorrect, as usual from you. If the 2nd foul needs to be called, it's a dead ball foul, a dead ball foul is a technical, or i could say it was apart of the original move and make it a multiple foul.

By the rules.

Not freaking likely. You've never owned a rule book in your life.

The rules, both NFHS and NCAA, say that multiple fouls can ONLY be personal fouls, NOT technical fouls.

As usual, you're guessing, and also as usual, you're guessing wrong.

Who was the player...Michael Jordan? LeBron? Dr J? That's a lot of momentum (about 20 feet worth) for a rec leaguer (rec is all you call, right?)...from the top of the key all the way in for a layup??? Did you blow your whistle at the moment of the original foul (i.e., at the "top of the key")? If so, how did the player continue on for a "hampered" layup? His jumps must have the approximate thrust of a jet engine? Wish this was on You Tube.....

Let's table our imagination here. The player was fouled at the top of the key, my partenr called it, foul was on the floor, on the drive. The player continued to dribble towards the basket after the foul call, maybe he didn't hear the whistle but he wasn't going to be denied on this move. He then went up to shoot a layup and was clobbered, hammered to the floor. I felt the 2nd foul was too hard, unnecessary and I'm calling it. Originally, I thought multiple foul becasue the fouls where so close together in time. In the future, as i have stated, it will be a dead ball foul which is a technical, I don't care what JR says.

You should table your imagination. Now the story changes. Before, the player's "momentum" took him in for a layup. Now, he "dribbled" in for a layup.

Don't matter anyway. In your original post, you said you called a multiple foul. My point was that the play couldn't be a multiple foul by rule no matter what scenario you try to dream up now...or then. Yes, you can call an intentional technical foul in the play you described above, but that would be a different type of foul than a multiple foul.

Was the technical for hanging on the rim? Or was this before the rule was changed to remove the T penalty?

As I'm sure you know, goaltending a free throw is a T, but basket interference is not (anymore).

It was back in '02-'03, when both BI and GT of a FT were Ts. I passed on it rather than inflame tempers over a rule that none of the players would have known.
