Least called call

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.

And he is no longer 'hampered'.

No, as usual you jump to conclusions in an overly adolescent attempt to try and make me wrong. In my scenario there was two situations. Both where just about the same. I had a player going in for a layup who was fouled out top, the players momentum was going towards the basket and he just kept going after the whistle, then he got hammered at the basket shooting the layup. Both fouls at the basket where harder then the fouls up top.

The rule says at approximately the same time. So I guess you want to have a big arguement about the definition of approximately? I'm not going there, just tell you that this is what I reason at the time, and as I also told both coaches, I'm giving you the better of the deal. I could have called a technical on the 2nd foul which would have given the player multiple foul shots and the ball back. This way, posession changes after we shoot the free throws. It's just two of your players is going to get charged with a foul here. Coach didn't like it and said it was ridiculous. I told the coach, we got a simple remedy here, tell your players to quite fouling so damn much, that way, I don't have to blow my whistle, I got no call to make, simple, plus there was no need to foul that player that hard the 2nd time.

JR, I'm sure that I did something wrong by your standards here. Fact of the matter is, when players start knocking other players to the floor after the whistle, I'm going to call something.

1) Yup, the rule defining a "multiple foul" certainly does say that. And you certainly could also call an intentional or flagrant contact technical foul on the second foul too, IF the ball was dead on the first foul call. If you do call a technical foul though, then you CAN'T call a multiple foul. The definition of a "multiple foul" in the rules says that only personal fouls can be part of a multiple foul, not technical fouls. If you did call a multiple foul with one of the fouls being a technical foul, then "approximately at the same time" does NOT come into effect because it can't be a multiple foul. You'd screw up the penalties completely too, calling it the way that you suggest. The penalties for the fouls called as part of a multiple foul are completely different than the penalties awarded for a common foul followed by a technical foul. If the player wasn't shooting, then there wouldn't be any FT's if the multiple personal fouls didn't put the team in the bonus. If they were in the bonus, there would only be 1 FT for each foul. And there's all kinds of other combinations available on multiple fouls also, depending on whether the player was fouled was in the act of shooting, or whether the ball went in or not. You have to know all of these different penalty applications if you want to get the call right and award the proper number of FT's.

2) JMO, I don't have a problem with you calling something when a player gets knocked to the floor. I sureashell do have a problem if you're making the wrong call and handing out the wrong penalties though, and also telling others to do it your way. You simply do not understand the rules. That's my point.

Say What!!!!

The definition of a "multiple foul" in the rules says that only personal fouls can be part of a multiple foul, not technical fouls.

Incorrect! The rules state that a multiple foul could be an Intentional Foul or a Flagrant Foul. Rule 4-19-3 and 4-19-4 states that an Intentional Foul or a Flagrant foul may be personal or technical. Rule 10-6 Penalties Section 6b. says a Multiple Foul can be Intentional or Flagrant.

If you did call a multiple foul with one of the fouls being a technical foul, then "approximately at the same time" does NOT come into effect because it can't be a multiple foul.

Bullsh!t

Damn, you must be having a bad day today. It's okay, we all have bad days. Rule 10-6 Penality Multiple Foul: 6a: says one F/T for each foul when NO TRY (was) INVOLVED. Give it up man, I knew exactly what I was doing when I called the foul, which BYW, I never told you what I did. So how can you say I screwed up the penalities?

One thing's for sure, the multiple foul scenarios are quite complicated. One in which I'm not going into. I'm just going to give out a Technical foul on the dead ball contact if I deem it unnecessary and intentional.

Sigh.....

For the life of me, I don't know why I'm wasting time with you over such a basic and simple rule that you simply can't understand. You just can't comprehend what you're reading.

Rule 4-19-12--"A MULTIPLE foul is a situation in which two or more teammates commit PERSONAL fouls against the same opponent at approximately the same time."

PERSONAL!!

Note that they both committed PERSONAL fouls. Either of those PERSONAL fouls could also be an intentional PERSONAL foul or a flagrant PERSONAL foul. Neither one of those fouls can be a technical foul of ANY kind though. If one of them had committed a technical foul, then it couldn't possibly be a multiple foul. And if it ain't a multiple foul, you do NOT use 10-6PENALTY6.

Lah me.......

So lemme get this straight...multiple fouls apply to peronal fouls only?

As far as the penalities goes, please explain to the listening audience the difference between a Flagrant Personal Foul and a Flagrant Technical Foul or one of the multiple fouls being a Flagrant Personal Foul? What is the difference in the penalities?

You might have stopped right there.
