I know it's 2 technicals.\nWhat about personal fouls etc?

Six personal fouls per player, 2 techs&#92; flagrants  per player. a flagrant is a hard foul that results in two free throw + posession of the basketball.

I can understand Sports, but I'm confused as to why this is in Basketball.

I am a basketball coach and yes, you can grab the ball out of another players hands if he or she is just holding it.  If you try to take it while the other person is in the process of shooting then you will get a foul and the other person will get two free throws.

In theory the crackdown on obstruction was a good thing.  Yes, I do miss the battles in front of the net... I guess it goes both ways.  I'd rather leave all the hooking and holding out of the game--but I still think that sometimes the refs went a little overboard and sometimes they were true to form and "put away the whistle" during the game... in my opinion it all depends on how they're calling the game and which team ends up with more power plays (if it's the team you're rooting for then of course the refs are doing their job--but again that goes both ways too).

the only time you can legally do that is when the defender knocks the ball out of your hands.  Then you are allowed to recover it and start dribbling again.  Any other time it is a double dribble

Appears so. Two games in a row with atrocious refs. That PK call against Ghana was ridiculous.  All those cards in the Italy game was as well.

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!

Yes you can slap the ball.. It's part of the game to be able to steal the ball. It doesn't matter whether it's two handed or one. But yes it is legal as long as you don't foul by making contact.

No, because you don't let a foul decide the outcome of a game, you let the shooter do that. The foul on Duncan was committed when he was trying to go for his own rebound, where as Dwayne basically flopped his way after charging Terry (no call there), and getting hand checked by Dirk which has to be the most babyish, rubbish call ever. Not to mention his foot was in the front court and then he went back court. That would have changed the game very much...also the fact that Stackhouse got suspended on the most ridiculous call. Stackhouse was going for the ball, Stephen A Smith said that Stu Jackson called Shaq to ask about the foul and Shaq's response was something related to that not being a hard foul...remember Stackhouse is the best bench player Mavs have...they coulda won Game 5 much more easily Also...Dirk had been knocked around a lot this series and didn't get many calls..where as..Dwayne in Game 6 did a floater and I'm not even sure if Marquis Daniels touched him and got called for a foul. He makes that basket and that gives them one point..take note of that. Then..in the end...Wade pushes off Dirk and Dirk gets called for the foul? In the replay, Dirk doesn't even touch Wade and that results in Wade makin 2 FTs...so those 3 points woulda made it a tie game and changed the very outcome of the game.\n\nI'm not saying the Refs rigged it or anything, and Wade is amazing, but I'm just saying that...\n\nA. Don't let a small foul decide the game\nB. Stackhouse's suspension is complete garbage\nC. Use more common sense on calls...(Ala..Daniels and Dirk contact with Wade)\nD. Just because hes a superstar, doesn't mean when he flops, he needs a foul...heck Ginobli doesn't even get as much as him and Ginobli is one mean flopper.\nE. It's stupid, but they should put in something similar to a challenge system. Or at least, refs should have the ability to change the call when the play is shown on the big screen.\n\nBTW Purple Hearts, you really have no common sense and you honestly make me laugh. Heat is nothing without Wade, he carried the team, and he fed off of many one on one situations due to the double teaming on Shaq.

Imagine a door with two guards:\n\n* If you stay outside and don't try to pass the guards, you're okay.\n* If you try to pass the guards without a key, you'll be arrested.  \n* If you have a key and try to pass the guards, you can enter.\n\nThe offside rule is the same.  \n\n* If there are two opponents between you and the goal (two guards between you and the door), you're onside\n* If you go past the opponents without the ball (past the guards without a key), it's an offside foul.\n* If you have the ball and go past the opponents (you have a key and pass the guards),  you're okay.

The ref was correct, in my opinion.\n\nHere are some of the pertentent free throw rules for the NBA (I know, not college or high school, but I believe that they are similar):\n\na. After the ball is placed at the disposal of a free throw shooter, his attempt shall be within 10 seconds in such a way that the ball enters the basket or touches the ring before it is touched by a player. The shooter shall be within that part of the free throw circle behind the free throw line. \n\nc. A player who occupies a free throw lane space shall not touch the floor on or across the free throw lane line, nor shall any player 'back out' more than 3' from the free throw lane line. A player who does not occupy a free throw lane space must remain behind the three-point line. This restriction applies until the ball leaves the free thrower's hands. \n\nThese two rules might be slightly different for college or high school ball, but I am not sure.\n\nNow, here is the ruling on penalties levied:\n\n(6) If there is a free throw violation by each team, on a free throw which is to remain in play, the ball becomes dead, no point can be scored and play shall be resumed by a jump ball between any two opponents at the center circle. \n\nThese are NBA rules, but I believe that, though the mechanics might be a little different (jump ball, for example), the generalities are still the same for college and high school.\n\nThe shooter and the defender both violated rules, and there is no precendent for one rule or the other, and so the ball becomes dead, perhaps, in this case, being awarded to the other team?

Wow!!! What a very informing question. Informing in the way that you made so much sense in your theory. I agree that the NBA cannot fix games in the sense of having a team just quit, but sabotaging a certain team with the crappy officiating now I can believe that. Coming from Utah and being a Jazz fan I can see this in every game since the refs totally hate Jerry Sloan. Not that you care or anything but Karl Malone said something interesting during an interview during all the hype of his statue and number retirement her In SLC i will quote the best I can he said,: I was out doing something other than basketball related things and ran into a NBA referee that refer ed many of the Jazz's games he told straight up that he was sorry that he coast the Jazz and Me a championship due to his bad  call in the finals" this was concerning the push off Jordan did on Bryon Russell. So this comment gives your theory a good leg to stand on.

Yeah, would be interesting to see how each team's attack and defense would go without each other, I mean if both teams were attacking at the same time, and the individual skill would count alot more too, since dribbling the defender could mean creating a gap on the opponent's flank.

i can just post the same video and told you all it's from another team. it's somewhat common for manager at national team or in the club to instruct their player to dive at tackle. i don't agree either. but  that's the way footbal played. just like injuring some player with hard tackle, it's common also. either we think it's good or not. the team can only be blamed if they have some agreement with the referee of the game. as long as it's not proved, what happen on the pitch is the ref own responsibilities

I hate basketball officiating, but that could just be because everytime someone breathes on the guy with the ball it is a foul. These guys are professional athletes, they can handle it. Let them play the freakin' game!

have to dribble at all times when you are moving and you have the ball.  If you stop dribbling you have to stop moving or pass it.  Two points for each basket....unless outside the line....that's 3 pts.

I don't know about a complete rigging of a game, but ref's do have the luxury of calling some flops and not calling others, calling some excessive contact and not calling others, etc, etc.  The Pacers, especially J. O'Neal, haven't had much luck with the refs lately.  And those crucial moments may indeed cause the game to end in an unfair result.\n\nWhen those "fouls" are reviewed on SportsCenter, ESPN, general news...they appear weaker than my great-grandmothers hip bone!
