Thanks so much for your eloquent explanation.

You're welcome

If you had checked above you would note that I had already acknowledged the mistake after it was politely pointed out to me.

I did read all of the above posts prior to responding. And since you asked a question of me I only thought it would be polite to respond to your question.

My point in asking you the difference was they are both 15 yds from the succeeding spot. So the enforcement aspects aren't that critical.

Actually they are critical! A PF can be a live ball foul or a dead ball foul and can therefore be administered as a live ball foul or a dead ball foul. A USC foul is always enfoced as a dead ball foul regardless of when it happens.
Additionally two USC's require an ejection.

I am not exactly sure what makes you think I am a newer official and I don't really care, you can either jump down my throat or misspell my name not both.

I never stated I thought you were a new official. I just stated a well-known fact regarding newer officials not knowing the differences between the two fouls. And I appologize for mispelling your name.

I am fully aware of the differences, I just misspoke because frankly I am doing my in season basketball rules study, so take a chill pill and put on a happy face

I don't get excited so no chill pill is required and I always have a happy face. I hope your basketball season goes well.
