Message: [QUOTE="YKCornelius, post: 5281938, member: 9864"] Two points: First, a clear path foul is a personal foul, not a technical foul. See Rule #12 (Fouls and Penalties), Section B (Personal Fouls), Section I (Types), Penalties paragraph (6). FWIW, Section A speaks to Technical Fouls. Second, by definition a clear path foul cannot be called if the offensive player is in the act of shooting. See the same referenced paragraph, towards the end. Hence, this particular foul needed to be characterized differently. That said, if your premise is that the game officials' characterization and communication of what transpired has turned into a hot mess in the WNBA, I would agree. Even Rebecca Lobo and Ryan Roucco often do not explain the situation correctly. [/QUOTE]
