Exactly. The team that got fouled was already winning.

The home team ended up winning by 3. First T, kid that fouled out said "Open your eyes" Second T, after I called a foul 80 feet away from the basket the kid that fouled yelled "No" and slammed the ball (granted he caught the ball so it didn't go over his head, but that didn't matter). Right after that the same team's AC was close to a T, I just looked at the HC and told him "He's about to cost you 2 FT's and the ball". Did I give that game away? Nope, each kid earned their T, and I would have the same outcome 100% of the time.

Maybe I am just too tired at the moment, but . Could you please tell me how a T is in any way getting them 3 free throws instead of 2 and ball at division line?

Not just in the BC, but in the FT lane. Ball should have been on the end-line for the TI.

By my count there are 18 different people participating in this thread. Also by my count only 2 (Freddy, bainsy) have agreed with the Intentional foul.

Depends on how you define several...
Count me in with those who have an intentional foul to go along with the T. By rule, if the player is not making a play on the ball it is an intentional foul. I see the defender grab the dribbler from behind with both hands almost in the fashion of a bear hug. I see no problem with how it was called and probably would have called it the same if I were there. Also note, that the opposing coach stood up immediately calling for the flagrant so others saw it that way when it happened as well (I know several of you will want to blast that statement with some comment about coaches dictating calls but I am ony including it to demonstrate that it was seen that way by him). And, any T that resulted is to be blamed on the player. It does not matter why he disagrees with the call or how bad a call may be a player should never comment or demonstrate in an unsporting manner.
Finally, for any of us to question the honesty and credibility of other officials is unprofessional and counter productive. I don't know one guy nor have I heard of one game from my area where an official cheated. As they like to say in grade school, when you point a finger at someone there are four pointing back at you. I hope in the future some of you more regular posters can stop trying so hard to find fault with others and stick to discusing / debating rules and situations. I enjoy coming to the forum to learn from each of you but find it hard to wade through the constant negativity of some posters. |

Rich, I think you've misread the posts. No one here (that I recall) has suggested these officials lacked integrity. Quite the opposite, in fact.
I'm not going to blast you for noting the coach's response, I'm only going to say it doesn't matter. Half the head coaches think all fouls in the last minute are intentional. I think the kid was going for the ball, he just went through the offensive player to get to it. Like I said before, though, this probably wasn't even the worst call of the game.

Adam,
There were a few hints at it here but I was also referencing past threads as well. It seems that often times we get caught up in criticizing the official (about things that don't impact the actual call) instead of concentrating on the situation or rule. And, I know that my soap box rantings really only apply to 5 or 6 of the regulars. Most posters here are positive and I enjoy the academic discussions from which I can learn or see things from different perspectives. |

I never said or implied anything questing the integrity or honesty of the official....just that his poor call selection had a greater impact than the call itself. An as far as how many here are agreeing with the IF, it is a very small number....I think I only saw 1 or 2. They player's hand was reaching right at the ball. He doesn't have to be successful at getting the ball for it to be common. We also tend to automatically support other officials who call T's, sometimes without objectively considering the situation.

Common foul. But the T was deserved I'm sure. Too bad he upgraded the foul to an INT though.
Having said that, I would definitely talk to B1 because I do think he unnecessarily contacted A1. I do see the bear hug and the arm hook was a poor attempt to play the ball, imho. And I say this even as A1 embellished. I may speak to him too.
