Tapping an airborne shooter

What basketball play disadvantage would B2 be subjected to by the contact, since there was to be no rebound on thnis shot, so the contact is incidental.

Look at it as the same as if A2 just turned and pushed B2 for no discernable reason. It is an unsporting act, but you can also call it an intentional personal foul on A2. It's also basically has the same result rules-wise, except for the throw-in spot, and it meets the rules definition.

Any consideration of calling a flagrant personal? I'm not letting a de-pantser (pretty sure that's not a word) stay in the game...

Jurassic Referee: Why are you being so polite to me? I expected to come home from work, get online, and get blasted for posting something as stupid as I did, but instead, I get a polite response, as if I were asking an important, interesting, or realistic question. In the past you have posted that you have never shared with us your gender. Could it be that you being nice to me because it's Saint Valentine's Day. By the way, I'm a male Billy, not a female Billie. "Not that there's anything wrong with that".

Billy, you asked a legitimate question. I answered it to the best of my ability.

Sometimes, it kinda seems that you just think way too much about inconsequential stuff. This is a discussion board. Take what you can out out of it and simply ignore the other stuff without worrying about anybody else.

Of course, I do gotta admit that I was kinda hurt that I never got a valentine from you.

Lord I can't believe they let you two get away with all this fawning.

Get a room please.
