Fouling at end of the game

[volbound1700]

So technically a personal foul that is intentional is flagrant and leads to a technical. So how is fouling at the end of the game not "intentional"? If read correctly, teams shouldn't be fouling at the end of the game.

It’s one of those things like how a place holder isn’t down when he catches the ball for a kick .
Also, technically they are making a move for the ball.

There is a specific rules exception for placeholders. The fouling is the custom, not a formal rule.

Semantics

Semantics

Formal, written rules.

I think FGs would be more fun if they made the placeholder squat. Even just one of them rolling backwards and pulling an accidental Lucy/Charlie Brown would be amazing.

I believe that when an intentional foul is flagrant is because you are purposefully taking somebody down after they got by you. It’s flagrant because those are dangerous plays, often with a player taking it to the hoop.

Drop kicks in basketball should be worth 10 points.

Oh my god Dane called that play right on the money

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Only when convenient will it be flagrant.

Making a play for the ball isn’t a flagrant foul. If you foul without making a play for the ball, there are rules for that.

I remember my first time watching basketball.

Sort of like a QB downing the ball to stop the clock isn't intentional grounding. When during the course of the game throwing with no eligible receiver in the area draws a flag.

That was a penalty 40 years ago. In 1984, TN would have beaten Kentucky. But Tony Robinson had to throw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock as time ran out.

I don’t like the way it’s called “intentional” in college hoops. It’s just called a flagrant foul in the NBA, and that’s what it should be called in the NCAA.

You have to be going for the ball/playing real D or it SHOULD be called intentional - 2 shots and the ball. But it’s so routine now they let guys just grab…

At the end of the game, you are intentionally fouling to stop the clock so it is technically "intentional" and isn't a play on the ball.

Yeah, it maybe semantics but it would be funny if you enforced it because it is annoying sometimes when teams are fouling at the end of the game when they really don't have a shot to win it. I can understanding fouling if you are down 3-4 points but sometimes they foul when down by 7 or 8 points.

 

[TennEddie]

Technical Foul or not : it is very BORING , and
is a discredit to the team that played the best
for 99 % of the game. It just comes down to a
free throw shooting contest.

If you grab someone without the ball or not making a play for the ball, its an intentional foul and ruled as such.

 

[TennEddie]

To stop this endless fouling by the team that is behind,
and to shorten the length of the game ( almost EVERY BB
game runs past the TV advertised time ), I have a suggestion.
During the last minute of the game if a team is leading by at
least 4 points and gets fouled, they get to shoot 2 free throws
and they get to inbound the ball. That would stop those last
minute intentional fouls.

Yes. I also hate it when teams foul when they are down by more than 2 possessions.

I can't stand the end of basketball games, both college and NBA. Foul, FT, time out, repeat. Makes the last 2 minutes of game clock last 10 minutes of real time. Just finish the damn game!!!
