#414: Duck-under Foul Move in Basketball
I've really not been into basketball for many years, but recently I went to my first Warrior's game in 20 years and enjoyed it so I have been watching them a bit lately. One of my peeves of basketball is the arbitrary foul calls, which seems to have improved somewhat from what I recall. But they still do this thing I can't stand where a player fakes a shot, get a defender to jump, and then the shooter leans under the guy to take a shot and get a foul called on him. This is so dumb and should be outlawed. It's like in hockey if you purposely put your face in a spot so a guy hits you with his stick to get a penalty on him. Or in the NFL, a quarterback moved his head so a pass-rusher would hit him there and get a penalty flag. Get this stupid "duck-under" maneuver out of basketball. Severity: 4
