Question #44. An unsporting foul may be a personal foul, T or F. I'm being told true, but can't find in the rule definitions how this can be.

Trust the book.

[WALDO]

Our rules interpreter insist this is true, however I'm not satisfied with his explanation. I say false.

[Adam]

Let me guess, his explanation is something to the effect of "it counts towards his 5 personal fouls?"

4-19 lists all the fouls for you

[WALDO]

He ask me if one could have a unsporting technical foul during a live ball. I said yes. But, according to 4-19 art 14 an unsporting foul is non-contact. The defination of a personal foul requires contact.

Rule 4-19-1 and 4-19-5(b&c).

Personal fouls involve illegal contact while the ball is live or contact by or on an airborne shooter. Unsporting fouls are technical fouls and involve unsporting acts without contact during a live ball, or contact during a dead ball not related to an airborne shooter.

That's why the correct answer isn't true.

[Adam]

JR, did you mean false?
Never mind.

A repeat of a relatively frequent question on the boards -- the answer key is wrong

[WALDO]

Are you saying my interpreter is trying to justify the answer key?

Like Snags said he probably thinks this has to do with the T counting towards his 5 fouls for disqualification.

Good Lord, of course I did. Went back and changed it. Thanks.

While you're fixing your past mistakes, you should correct your comments about an intentionally kicked ball by the thrower-in, which you must know is a violation.
