Basically true. My question was, "Where does it say that sufficient body contact is allowed if a clean hand is on the ball?" And what I've learned is...

...this play would usually not be called a foul at the higher levels of with similar talent on the floor.

Very well.

Not only is the phrase, "Protect the shooter" not in the rule, the only word that is the same is "the" in the actual wording.

I guess I have a more liberal interpretation of "protect" that you do, Rut, because I see 10-6-1 mostly about protection. It protects ALL PLAYERS on the floor. That's what I honestly believe, and that's why I saw a foul in the clip.

I asked you a specific question and you basically lied about what was in the rules wording.

Wrong, sir. I gave you my honest views, and what led to them. If you want to question my judgment or knowledge, that's fine. Going for my integrity, however, is way off base.
