Now, I may gve you the benefit of the doubt, and perhaps you are actually saying that it is easier to determine whether whether contact on a dribbler is illegal, because of RSBQ. And, conversely, it may take a little longer to determine if contact on the way to the basket is illegal. But, either way, once the contact is determined to be illegal, the whistle is blown immediately. Maybe it sounds like you're saying the same thing, but there's a subtle difference in the terminology. An official does not have a patient whistle after contact has been determined to be illegal, but rather they have a patient whistle to determine if contact is illegal.

I hear ya M&M, but contact alone doesnt determine a foul. I could've swore that the rulebook says the result of the contact is what determines what is & isn't a foul.
So... how can one determine that, if you're blowing the whistle prior to the play finishing???? Result = Finish, no? I'm not talking about obvious fouls, just plays to the basket with contact. Immediate whistles on plays to the basket results in cheap And1s & GIs more often than not. Quote:

Since this thread mentioned acronyms
Here's one I learned from Earl Strom - WIDTHAO. It stands for: "When In Doubt Toss His A$$ Out".
Try it - it works!

I can't find the rule that says the final result of the play is what determines the foul. It says "prevents an opponent from performing normal defensive or offensive movement" or something to that effect. The closer th shooter is to the basket, the higher the threshold for advantage, IMO, but there's no rules backing for waiting to see if the shot goes in.

2) Here's the statement that you made: "I explained that the contact was enough for an and 1 but not just enough to put the the player on the line for the missed try." You must have the dumbest coaches and the stoopidest "powers that be" in the whole freaking world if they can understand, let alone swallow, that nonsense. |

And for any other officials like tref that don't understand the difference between determining illegal contact versus incidental contact and think that RSBQ is the Holy Grail, here's the Tower Principle that has been used for that and has also been around...oh....forever. It's the exact same damn thing. The only difference is that you apply it equally everywhere on the court, not differently on the perimeter versus driving to the basket.

There is a segment of officials that use the reasoning that if a player makes the shot after contact, there wasn't a foul, and if the shot was missed, then there was a foul. That's not correct according to the rules, and just promotes lazy officiating. If a dribbler is bumped off their path due to illegal contact by a defender, it doesn't matter if they are just crossing the division line, or entering the lane on the way to the basket, it is a foul because it's illegal contact, and the whistle is blown at that point. The official shouldn't wait to blow the whistle solely because of one type of play over another. Quote:

And there's nothing the matter with that either. You're determining whether the contact was illegal or incidental using advantage/disadvantage and a patient whistle while determining that advantage/disadvantage. That hasn't changed. But if you determine that the contact on the shooter was really illegal from the git-go, there is no need at all for a patient whistle and no need to see if the ball goes in or not either. If that weren't true, you'd never have an "and 1". You just wouldn't call a foul every time the ball went in.

And I'm intrigued too about the concept of waiting on a 3 to see if the ball goes in or not when contact was made on the shooter's hand after the ball left his hand. That's a brand new concept to me also. Maybe the idea is to see if the contact affected the RSBQ of the hand. And let me know if Zambrano shows up. |

I don't think anyone was suggesting passing on any/all contact just because the ball went in...just contact that was merely suspect. If someone gets hammered, I'd hope everyone would have a call, even if the shot is made. And I can't see using that much delay on a 3...this is more applicable in an interior situation.
