rule clarification req

Yeah the rule makes sense. While you want to see the game free flowing both teams are playing by and making decisions based on the rules. It is good strategy to foul a player going to the basket and stop a layup. If they can take an extra step to square up and get an and 1 all this would do is encourage hard fouls to make sure there's no way they are getting a shot up...

"Rule should be changed then!"
Why? Can a player get fouled at one end of the court, then run all the way to the other end and score, and have the basket count? Of course not, that would be ridiculous. So where do you draw the line? The rule makes perfect sense.

Referees must seek to enforce the rules that apply in any given situation, whether or not this conforms to everyone's personal idea of 'common sense'.

25-5 covers the exact situation discussed. No basket, two free-throws.

Correct, if the foul is there, why not call it, my point is that if the ball player is trying to score and the defender is just fouling why give that player incentive to do so without consequence of no additional score?

It is a scoring game, not a tackling game. Doesn't matter if the foul is soft or hard, as long as it isn't flagrantly excessive or dangerous, just my opinion anyways...

So, anon #917, you don't like my opinion on the issue, that's fine as I am not saying that it the correct call.

Nor is it what would normally be called, perhaps, as it depends on so many factors.

I am expressing what I believe to be in the spirit of the game and taking away the blatant foul by rewarding the player who is playing the ball is one way of doing this.

But what is you opinion on fouling somone trying to do a lay-up, is it okay to do so...? If so, then at what point do you stop a game because it is getting out of hand, some official you would make, eh??

And1, don't give the defence that much advantage, it's not in the spirit of the game I say... Player with the ball is still trying to score, so nothing changes IMO.

No basket, but free throws should be awarded.
