? Where are you seeing this? If I said that it must have been a mis-type.

From your post:

But that rarely happens.

You only mentioned that the number of fouls each player had determined which player got assigned the foul. Why should that matter?

You said:

So I don't see what you're getting at.

Ok, here's what I'm getting at. Going back to your first post in this thread, which I quoted again, you mentioned you would charge or not charge a foul on a player solely based on the number of fouls they currently have. You also then mentioned this is called "game management". What I'm trying to determine is under what specific circumstances this would come into play for you.

If you would not call a multiple foul (which I would not as well), then you need to determine which player fouled first. Obviously if the player with the lesser number fouled first, they get charged with the foul. Bob mentioned a specific scenario where you are truly unsure which player fouled, and the game is decided, you might charge the player with the lesser number. But if you are saying you see the player with the larger number foul first, but because there's another player close by that can be charged instead to avoid fouling someone out, I do have a big problem with that. That is manipulation, rather than management.

Based on the merit of this quote alone (all other posts aside) I would agree that this is a resonable way to determine one from the other.

I'm not saying that, and I never said that.

Ok, good. I was simply reacting to your original comment.

Opening GV weekend. Neutral Site Game. Home team SG is one of the best players in the county returning this year. Play is sloppy as HT, who is clearly better, is playing down to the level of their opponents. Super Star is also not having a very good game. Lazy on defense. Picks up three stupid fouls in the first half.

Late in 3Q with HT up by ~20 points. Superstar reaches from behind opponent and tried to tomahawk the ball out of her hands. Easy call. TWEEET. As I start to walk to the table she glares at me, stomps her foot and in a disrespectful manner says, "I can't believe you would call that on ME!" Tweeet! WHACK! bye-bye. Thats number 5.

I believe there is currently a contract out on me from her family.
