Feel free to disagree, but that's my honest opinion.

Hey - when I was 26 I was already U.S. ambassador to Antarctica and also captain of the U.S. Olympic Sarcasm Team. That's pretty mature, if you ask me!

I actually had this happen in a men's rec game a while back. Fed rules. It's the end of the half, Team A is on offense taking the ball out. A1 receives the inbounds pass about 30 feet from the basket and jacks up a 3. B1 lunges at the shot and fouls A1 (arms get tangled and there's plenty of body contact). While still in the air and right after B1 fouls A1, A1 grabs both of B1's arms and pulls him to the floor w/ him.

It's a HTBT, but if A1 is tangled-up and off-balance because of B1's contact, I'm gonna call a foul on the tangler, not the tanglee.

I've either got an intentional foul on A1, or nothing. Most likely nothing, but if it's obvious he's just retaliating by pulling B1 down, I'll call both fouls (shooting on B1 and intentional on A1.)

Isn't this similar to what Kobe Bryant was fined for last season? Hitting his opponent after a foul?
the initial foul was called but Kobe wasn't penalized the first time it occurred. and the second time he committed the same act he was hit with an intentional?
He was fined by the league both times for a flagrant foul if i remember correctly.

I don't remember that there were fouls called on the defenders in those situations.
