Say for instance he commits any foul like high sticking, slashing etc. Are there any statues that cover this? I'm in NJ

It's happened before, but in general it's difficult to prove that the action was not part of the game.\n\nI remember one case where two high schools were playing football. One team had a group of known racists, and the other team had a black player. The black player was tackled violently by at least one member of the opposing team (I forgot some details), and it was caught on video.\n\nThe attacker used the excuse that it was part of the game, but the person who got attacked tried to show that there was no reason for him to get tackled, since he didn't have the ball and the video showed that the attacker went out of his way to tackle him even though the action was in the other direction.\n\nThe case went to trial, but I don't remember the outcome.

Depends on how heavy the person is that's doing the "stepping". Just wondering what "Eaglesfan" does where he has someone stepping on his stomach all the time?

I think he will be looking at jail time on this one especially with a prior record. Grand Rapids is cracking down on this sort of thing and they talk about some pretty harsh penalty's for marking a building. There will probably be a fine and court cost and restitution.

These links should help.\n\nThe rules page:\nDon't try to read the rule book!  But check out some of the other sections on that page.  \n\nIt would be handy to print out the list of fouls on the "Official Referee Hand Signals Illustrated" page.  Don't print out the drawings, but just the list of fouls.  You can learn the hand signals as time passes.\n\nThe third link is to a book at Amazon.  You might look for it or others at your local public library.  Also, notice that there are some other introductory basketball books recommened.

Wouldn't moral law just be doing what you think is right? For example, don't murder, don't steal, don't rape are some pretty basic moral laws. \nAlso "Laws are rules or STATUTES" not statues. Moral law would be statute law likely so you might search the web for statute law. You definitely won't find much about statue law that's relevent.

When he hits you, you then call a foul. Take two freethrows if it's in the act of shooting or when he is in the penalty. He'll lose for sure because of excessive fouls on you. You'll shoot a lot of free-throws and he'll lose. Just annoy him that he loses everytime to you...hehehe... Sorry if that's the way I answer, you're in the Basketball Section.

There is no doubt it was intentional, no matter which angle do you see it.\nMany times those kinds of fouls are not penalized if they are not seen by the referee and if they don't make the player bleed like this one did.\nItalians are well know for being cheaters...

Fraud, forgery and theft come to mind. Yes you can sue him civilly, but he can also be criminally charged as well and ordered to pay restitution.

Agreed, there wasn't a specific foul on Wade.\nBy now, anytime he gets in the air, in the paint, or both, the refs automatically call a foul on the opposition, and not just Dallas either.\nThat explains why he broke the record for most free throws made in a Finals game.\n Also, there was a lot of pressure on the refs in the past 3 games to call it for Wade because of the thousands of screaming fans.\nAgain, there was no foul on Wade that play!

Ask you attorney or look in the your state's penal code book.

I know Michael Jordan has done it several times. Kobe did last night. I'm not sure who else but I'm sure others have. You can probably get a more complete list from NBA.com

Absolutely he should be fined or reprimanded somehow.  Coach Cowher and Big Ben had a conversation about this same topic last year after Kellen Winslow, Jr. had his accident.  I am sure in his contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers states no "risky" behavior clauses.

Yes i think Bell should totally be suspended from the game. This was not just a elbow or throwing someone off, it was a act of violence. In which husbands get arrested for everyday. To physically take someone when you are totally in control and no event or altercation at that moment is taking place, to cause you to react in a headlock of a player is totally out of control and then push him down. Another point I have to make is that kobe had the ball and they were just playing their position and just by looking at each-other no words Bell decides to take it upon himself to act in violence with no threat at that time. Bell is a timebomb waiting to explode and if he is not suspended and fined the next time his act of violence will be what? He will get more power and think he can fight on the court for a simple foul. Most of the time when a altercation occurs it because something just happened that the player feel was unfair. Not just guarding a player who has the ball. Bell really needs some anger management classes along with suspension and a fine. In fact every player that is suspended for violence on the court should be be ordered to anger management classes. I think the classes will help the players as well as the overwhelming suspension that the NBA has to deal with. Remember this is a sport not a place to fight!!!!! If I wanted to watch ultimate fighting challenge I would watch that not basketball.
