Moe gets bit by coach ordered intentional foul

It is semantics, so perhaps worth discussing no further. There is a lot of gray area within the referee's job, and it is no easy task.

I understand. I think you agree the only real problem here was the intentional call from the bench to a player not active on the ball.

Now if that rule needs to be adjusted you could probably argue many ways, but the ref did nothing wrong in this scenario. Only the coach.

This Post is running out of steam. My questions are these:
#1-Did said Coach instruct said player to foul?
#2-Did said player follow instructions and intentionally foul the opponent?
#3-Did said official warn before making the call?
The answer to all of said questions is yes. The official did the right thing even though the Moeller staff disagrees and have gotten away with it in the past.
Moving forward something needs to be done to help the officials. Right now it is to subjective for officials. Make it very clear what happens in the intentional "hack a Shaq" scenario. The foul wasn't flagrant, but it was intentional. Take the gray area out of the officials subjective decision making.

But is he a liar ?


What a funny thread. Too bad that I missed it in real time.

Things seem to polarize along a few different lines.

Does he have a history of calling for that tactic and getting a common foul called by most/all refs?

GCL ways, according to a few itt.

This may be a solution in search of a problem, but what about a rule in the last 2 minutes or so that if a foul is against a player who is not in possession of the ball, then the team would have the option of sending the player to the line or taking the ball out of bounds. This would benefit the team with the poor FT shooter and allow him to stay on the floor for defensive or rebounding purposes. But it would also benefit the team that is committing the foul because it would force the other team to inbound the ball; which is often no easy task.
