Wouldn't there be circumstances, maybe early in the game on a real solid shove by A2, that we might want to get this one, too?

I take it that there's no blarges in any of your games either.:)

Almost the same play, but the airborne shooter A1 after being fouled by B1 then charges into B2(with LGP) and puts B2 into the third row. Are you going with the first foul under those circumstances too?

Ya gotta remember that we're just discussing what should be done by rule <b>after</b> the play has already been called.

Real life and the rulebook don't always go together.

Bob, something didn't quite ring right with the term "false simultaneous foul" and I searched the NF rulebook and the term doesn't come up at all...is this an actual term or are you just extrapolating the "false double foul" definition?

The second foul may not have had an effect but it may have already been in progress when the first whistle was blow....and have been "rough play" as two big guys were fighting for the anticipated rebounding position. You may want to get it just to clean up the game. Sure, you may want to ignore something like an illegal screen on the opposite site of the court....but I would never say that the 2nd foul should always be ignored.

In my game Saturday, I had TWO fouls on the defense for fouling a teammate of the shooter when the ball went in. Normally, those don't get called.

First one....defender two hand shoves the screener as the shooter releases a three from the corner. Screener, who was just inside the 3 point line, ends up on the floor OOB (several feet back from where he set the screen) as a result of the shove. The basket was good AND the shooting team got the ball back. Not normally recommended but unpassable. Can't let anyone think they can get away with a shove like that...just not happening.

Second one...shots is rolling on the rim, defender (in a less favorable rebounding position) throws a hard elbow into the back of a teammate of the shooter. It was ugly. The ball dropped in. I could have passed, but what was going to happen next trip, or at the other end? It was getting rougher than I wanted it to get.

4-19-15.

It's written in white ink on a white page and basically says "If you'd get your head out of your ***, you'd see that 4-19-9 applies."

What gives YOU the authority to do that? What gives YOU the authority to turn a blind eye to your partner's foul? I'll bet that makes for good chemistry throughout the remainder of the game:rolleyes:

How is this a "technicality?" If I call a foul, it's because I've got a foul. Just because it's more difficult to think about the end result and actually sort the play out, doesn't mean it's a passable "technicality."

I read this board daily. I like to take bits and pieces from the discussion and I generally learn something new daily. I do agree that many posters become to worried about the plays that are very rare, and the "what if" scenarios. But, I think your way off base on this one. The OP is a legitimate question. You can't apply the rules when it is convienent for you.
