An Interpretation For A Technical Foul ...
Quote:
Edit: Or is it? See below: |
Personal Foul May Be The Way To Go ...
4-19-1: A personal foul is a player foul which involves illegal contact with
an opponent while the ball is live ... 4-19-5: A technical foul is: b. A noncontact foul by a player. c. An intentional or flagrant contact foul while the ball is dead ... 4-19-14: An unsporting foul is a noncontact technical foul which consists of unfair, unethical, dishonorable conduct or any behavior not in accordance with the spirit of fair play. Is "ball to opponent" interpreted as contact? I would think so. Unsporting? Probably not because it must be noncontact. Technical? Probably not because it must be noncontact, and if deemed flagrant, or intentional, the ball must be dead. It probably comes down to how one defines contact. Must it be player to player contact, or can it be ball to player contact? Based on how one defines contact determines whether one should charge a personal foul, or a technical foul. |

What type of foul would you charge if a player deliberately threw the ball into his opponent's chest? |
Contact ???

Live ball: throwing the ball into an opponent is what, Billy? Personal foul or technical foul.

Is That Your Final Answer (Regis Philbin) ...
Final answer: Technical foul, as long as everyone considers the situation to be a noncontact situation. It's noncontact, but it's still gonna hurt.
Am I right? If not, can I try again? |
Am I Coming, Or Going ???

One thing that you are 100% right about JRutledge: I too would love to get a NFHS interpretation on this situation. Note: Right now I'm leaning toward unsporting technical foul, but I may change my mind again after I sleep on it. |

10-6-1: A player shall not ....push........by extending arms......
The fact that this player is holding the basketball is not significant. It is a personal foul. There is no comparison between the OP and a player deliberately throwing the ball at another player. |
