In an attacker is fouled while he blasts a shot into the upper 90, we ignore the foul (unless it's cardworthy). While there's no need to yell "play on" here, the advantage concept is still applied.

We're not ignoring it; we're playing advantage even if we don't signal it in this particular case. It's still a completely different thing than what's being suggested and done for a completely different reason.

In the soccer case, the reason the foul "appears" ignored, is because we're playing advantage, as you said. The OP is attempting the same principle in basketball, to play the advantage by ignoring a foul when the score counted.

Advantage played: a goal is scored. Foul called: no goal is awarded and a penalty kick is given Which best suits the offended team? Advantage. In basketball: "Advantage" played: a goal is scored. Foul called: a goal is scored and a free throw is given. Which best suits the offended team? Calling the foul. Every time. So, no, the concept of advantage from soccer, namely, don't allow the offended team to be hurt more by enforcing the penalty for a foul, is not the motivation to not calling "and ones" because an "and one" doesn't hurt the offended team. |

I tried to point out the reason why advantage, as it's known in soccer, is NOT used in basketball (mostly continuation), and the the example in the OP was pushing for an advantage mentality. I'm not advocating one way or the other; I'm merely explaining the divide, as I see it.

Let 'Em Play ...
We got the exact same spiel at our local board meeting on Sunday. Full moon? Sunspots? Something in the water? (Imagine Twilight Zone sound effects here.)
