Intentional Foul by the Shooter

How about a "stiff arm" to the face, like in football?

Someone could die in the locker room and we would have to penalize the team for not being on the court and ready to play too, but I have never heard anyone suggest that should be the case and T up a team for such action.

And yes that was a serious question for a football class a few years ago.

When was the last time you saw a shooter try and stiff arm a defender like a football player? The closest would be a wipe off by the shooter, but I've never see that come close to the level of an intentional foul.

Maybe, but Camron made a good point with regard to the newly stiff penalties associated with elbow contact. This scenario is suddenly more likely than it was 4 years ago.

No, I still haven't seen it.

Never. JRutledge said that he couldn't imagine, so I'm using my imagination, and I'm trying to imagine.
