Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4513045, member: 8636"] 100% I’m trying to broaden it a bit, to somehow include this incessant falling and flailing. Hard to describe in words. So, AG is coming at you full speed straight to the hole, no hesitation, and the player can’t get set for a charge or make a legitimate effort to defend straight up, or even gamble and swipe at the ball, instead they just fall. So AG has to go right over top of them and risk serious injury. Why? Because the players have no game. Just get out of the way and stay on your feet. AG scores, as she deserves to under the circumstances and also she can land safely without somehow avoiding two bodies. Anything to the contrary- some consequences. Here‘s another one: the incessant horizontal dive under the basket after a layup attempt. There are players that do that every time. It’s BS. Not necessary. I played 4 years 24/7/365, can’t remember ever diving after a layup. Player chasing legitimately, in fairness, needs a place to land just as the shooter does. Players get fouls called because they hit the offensive player laying on the ground. If the defender chooses a correct angle to disrupt the shot and doesn’t hit the offensive player all is fair. Stop! [/QUOTE]
