Can you just call a team foul if you are not sure who the foul is on? Diebler

[biggravy]

Diebler sighting on ESPN. He grabs a board, no one within 5 feet of him. He falls out of bounds, looks like he was taking it out for a throw in. His mom is pissed. She gets about 3 minutes of TV time. So the question:

Since you know Diebler would never make a mistake like that, can we just call a foul on somebody, anybody?

No, just give all fouls to Evan Turner.

Or Tiger Woods.

I think this is like if someone throws the ball up and it goes in the other team's basket - credit the closest player with the 2 points and make a note.

By default, I think you have to charge the foul to the closest opponent.

Our job is to make the game as even as possible. Charge it to a player on the team that is ahead.

Coach of the team that is ahead: "Look at the fouls. We have 8 and they have 3."

Official: "You want me to make the score even, too?"

But make sure it's not their Superstar, because that would simply be unfair!

You're on the right track, charge it to the team with fewer fouls, and hit a player who has none; probably the 12th man on the end of the bench.

5-2-3: If a player scores a field goal in the opponent’s basket, it is not credited to a player, but is indicated in a footnote.

I said it should be "like"... because that's what most people think.

I think you took my post a little to seriously, Billy.
