Once a Foul, Always a Foul

It recently came to my attention that the NBA can take away fouls (techys and flagrants) after the league office reviews about them (if you don't believe me just search for fouls in the NBA rule book on nba.com). Anyway, I finally relinquished 2nd place in the league about a week ago, but Monday morning I was further behind then I thought I should be. I discovered on Thursday, after looking at total stats that I only had 2 flagrant fouls, when I know I have had 4. I looked at stat corrections and wa-la. I saw 1 flagrant taken away (not sure what happened to the other) and at least 1 techy taken away.

Anyway, I just think the NBA should leave flagrant fouls and technical fouls similar to how soccer refs always stand by their calls. I mean you don't see the league taking away points, rebounds, steals, or assists weeks after the game. Or at the very least if a player appeals a foul or the league deems it wasn't a techy or flagrant, yahoo should keep the fouls in fantasy basketball as how they were called in the actual game.

Just some thoughts.

Until next time.

Player Profile: Gerald Wallace

I have to start the player profiles with the current record holder of best fantasy night in foul league. I believe it was in November, Wallace fouled out and then got ejected via 2 techys. This gave him a whopping 270 points (Of course it has just come to my attention that the best night would be a foul out from 2 flagrants which would result in an ejection. You would get 390 points for that).

Anyway, Wallace has 86 personal fouls, 2 foul outs, 6 technicals and 1 ejection. He is averaging 2.7 fouls per game (FPG), 0.1 foul outs per game (FOPG), 0.2 Techys per game, 0.0 ejections and flagrant fouls per game.

His stats are decent, but having no flagrants can be a downside. Looking back at the last 2 previous seasons, he averaged roughly those same stats, so he is right where he should be. He had 6 techys last season and 8 the season before that. So he may be reaching his special fouls ceiling, but then again he could be on track for a career year.

Not sure who I'll profile next, might talk about the brawl in LA last weekend. Until the next post,

Keep fouling y'all!
