Main Entry:

ir·re·gard·less

Pronunciation:

\ˌir-i-ˈgärd-ləs\

Function:

adverb

Etymology:

probably blend of irrespective and regardless

Date:

circa 1912

nonstandard : regardless
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

English major? I am an English major, but I still make my share of grammar mistakes! Irregardless is a pet peeve of mine though!.....IT'S NOT A WORD !....I think we can all be in agreeance over that fact!

if the player is fouled on the second attempt after a foul has been called you can not have a regular foul. only if the contact is excessive, otherwise you ignore. So you can have a personal foul (the regular run of the mill) or flagrant or intentional. But no 4 free throws with the lane occupied.

this isn't quite correct, deecee. The key is whether the ball is dead or not. By rule, you can have multiple fouls on a shooter because the ball does not become dead until the try is over.

In the OP, however, the ball is dead once the it is obvious the first try is not going to be successful.
