Message: [QUOTE="Roger G, post: 2961317, member: 7083"] I think the idea of fouling out in a competition, whatever it happens to be, basketball or any other serious competition, too often spoils things. It gives way too much power to the officials to determine the outcome of a game. That's not how I want my sports to be determined. I want to see players on the court fighting it out for a victory, not the officials potentially through errors in judgments made in split seconds or even possibly simply out of bias taking players off the court. We know that officials try hard to keep their personal feelings out of a game, but how easy it must be to a little deep down sort of root for one team or another. And a key player maybe at a critical juncture in the game gets sat down for some questionable call. Game over. Not the way things should be settled. [/QUOTE]
