What's a "U foul"? "Ugly"?

I thought that was a "F foul"..."Fugly"

I'll propose that reading. Actually it's for "unsportsmanlike" which is too long a word to write in a forum, isn't it?

Simply the FIBA version of intentional. We Europeans like long words.

In my other sport we have "unsporting behavior" we referees abbreviate that as USB. Maybe you could use USML?

Fouls are recorded in the scoresheet as P (personal, i.e., common), T (you know what this means, don't you? ), U (unsportsmanlike), D (disqualifying) and F (fighting). The number of free throws resulting from the foul is recorded as a subscript to the letter.

U corresponds to Fed's intentional, D to flagrant. The last type is used when a player comes in from the bench during a fight and is consequently ejected. Actually U fouls have not much to do with unsporting behavior, just as intentional fouls with intentionality.

The ref that directed that disaster once called 3 games from a folding chair at halfcourt.

I wouldn't have used a folding chair, but a regular desk chair. I don't like to half-*** anything.

Actually, I would use a heat-massage rocker recliner. Oh yeah.

BTW - I once got kicked out of Sharper Image for testing their model massage chair! I was only in it for about a minute. I guess they don't like you to get in it face down.

And I'm sure your picture is up at the GNC's that have those massage chair models too.

That wasn't it, Skippy. They were mad you took your pants off first.
