This would hurt my fantasy team. Free Throws made is a category. I'm dependent on a few of those FTs in a game coming from intentional fouling to stop the clock.

I don't like having a game without buzzer beaters or Overtime.

@MHSL82 is a librarian in this thread. I wonder if he'll get the metaphor, or if I have to turn it into a simile for him.

I became a novelist in the other thread. :)

Great. I just signed you to a book deal, cash up front, for this thread. (I.E. You have to write a volume in your book series in this thread).

Do you want your books in paperback or hardcover or e-book only?

I learned that it’s not goaltending if it’s an inbound pass. That makes sense because obviously, it’s not a shot that’s being offensively interfered with because you can‘t shoot from there.

Why didn't @nuraman00 tell you that you can't goal tend on an inbounds pass?

Well, the reason why I didn’t know is because I never imagined the situation. If you had asked me, I would’ve told you that the inbound was not a shot and therefore it can count.

I thought an inbounds play could be goal tended too.

I think the backcourt one with Kirilenko and Stockton happen all the time, and aren't called.

Why is the lane in the international game so much bigger?

I liked the minutes one. I'll take the quiz later.

What's the difference between a clear path foul and a take foul?

I believe I take foul is when you are purposely fouling just to accumulate enough fouls to put in the penalty. A clear path foul is when the player has a clear path to the basket and you are failing just to make him shoot free throws instead of getting an easy layup or dunk. But the clear path really has to be clear, it cannot be summer blowing past someone at the free-throw line. It’s basically if somebody is at the half court to mid court area and there’s no one else to contest.

The Jazz had a bad one against the Bulls yesterday where the bulls were up by four points. they got two free throws and the ball in which they then scored again. So we were down by eight points instead of six or four. This was not the case years ago. I think years ago, you would still get free throws, even if you were not in the penalty, but you wouldn’t get the ball. So then, therefore, there was no reason to not fell, except for the chance of the missing or you ending up in the position to block the shot.
