I don't know what you guys are talking about, but I'm going to be focusing on which players have four fouls so that I can make sure the fifth one is a good one. :D

There are at least 1-2 fouls a game where I live that are rebounding fouls that occur while the shot is in the air.

Those are the most important to get since they usually open up the fouler for a rebound and put-back.

Well, thanks for nothing. Last night, I had a 2-man boys game. I was thinking, "Maybe those guys are onto something. Maybe I should try to change the way I do things. Tonight, I'll try picking up the rebounding earlier and just check the ball if there's a kid around the rim."

So mid-second-quarter, shot goes up, I pick up the weak-side rebounding as Trail and. . . where's the ball?!?! It was a high rebound around the top of the backboard and I had to guess as to whether it had hit a support.

15 years my way, no problems. One game your way, I have to guess. Screw that. :mad:

It's good that you specified that you were attempting to be sarcastic because otherwise I would have thought that you were just being a cranky, old guy. :D

Not far at all....which personally is kinda reassuring.

No shoelace-checkers allowed down here.

Hey, just think of how it will look on the films.

You can watch yourself missing the ball hitting a support or maybe an obvious BI/GT versus <b>maybe</b> missing a judgment call foul(which your partner might have got anyway because it was in his area).....a foul btw which may or may not have given anyone an advantage, depending on whether the ball went in or where the rebound went.

You can't watch everything. It's a matter of priorities imo.

...or maybe his partner had the foul, looked at him and asked "did it go in?"

Not very good when the only possible response is "did what go in?"
