Fouling for the Cycle or a Fouling a Perfect Game----What Comes Next?

Given the league's first Double Flagrant Ejection last night, it got me thinking of other NFA firsts we are waiting for.

Fouling for the cycle would be notching a stat in all 5 categories. This means 6 Personal fouls resulting in a foul out, at least one techy, at least one flagrant, and an ejection.

There are 3 ways to do this:
1. Your 6th personal foul results in your complaining to the ref earning a techy when you already had 1 and a flagrant, resulting in an ejection (350 pts)

or

2. Your 6th personal foul is a flagrant 2 resulting in you getting ejected while already carrying a techy (310 pts)

or

3. Your 6th personal foul is a flagrant 1 resulting in you getting ejected while already carrying a techy and an earlier flagrant (390 pts)


The other first we have yet to have is a perfect game, the most possible points one fouler could have in a single game. That would be: option 3 above (unless it's possible to get a second technical foul after you've been ejected for a two flagrant 1s, perhaps by arguing or bumping into the ref). I think that is possible, but not entirely sure, if it is that would result in 430 pts.

Obviously, the odds are better for someone to foul for the cycle before a perfect game and in fact, fouling a perfect game requires the fouler to foul for the cycle.

So I guess that settles that. Fouling for the cycle should happen first. But who is the most likely candidate to achieve this feat?

That's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all
