National Foul Association Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations

As the NFA has evolved, we here have developed a list terms for various aspects of the game. Those are, but not limited to, the following:

Fouler: One who participates in the sport of fouling (i.e. a player)
MVF: Most Valuable Fouler
The Donkies: Mid-season and End of the season awards for the NFA
Techy: Technical Foul
Flaggy: Flagrant Foul
Performance Foul: Any foul other than a personal foul (Technical, Flagrant, or Ejection)
DTE: Double Techy Ejection
Techy Foul Out Combo (TFO Combo or TFOC): When a player gets a techy and a foul out in the same game resulting in 130 points.
Stat Correction Sunday: When Yahoo! updates stats for fouls, resulting in technicals or flagrants taken away

Cousins At It Again

Demarcus Cousins' 6th foul in Thursday night's OT loss to Dallas was a flagrant 2 causing him to get ejected and earning 270 points for Pgastan FC. That one foul turned Cousins' 25 points for 5 fouls into 270 points, or in other words that one foul was worth 245 points (which is probably some sort of record). I believe this also ties the most points by a fouler in a single night at 270 (Gerald Wallace had his 6 foul be his 2nd techy also resulting in an ejection which would equal 270 points as well)

This adds to a huge season for PFC who's team scored 405 points on December 21st with 2 double techy ejections in one night (Carmelo Anthony and Joakim Noah). However, one of Melo's techies was taken away so the adjusted score is now 365 points.

The Midseason Donkies (2012 Edition)

With the Donkstar break in full swing, it's time to give out midseason awards for this abbreviated season, so without Freddy Adu, here we go:

The Donkey for Most Fouls goes to....
DeMarcus Cousins with 132 fouls

The Donkey for Most Foul Outs goes to...
David Lee with 4 foul outs

The Donkey for Most Technical Foul goes to....
Kendrick Perkins with 11 technical fouls

The Donkey for Most Flagrant Fouls goes to...
A three-way tie: with DeShawn Stevenson, Josh McRoberts, and Drew Gooden all having 2 flagrant fouls

The Donkey for Most Ejections goes to....
Sebastian Telfair with 2 ejections

So there you have it, only 1 tie this year as opposed to 2 last year. Now we get to wait to see if the end of the season Donkies look like these at all. It will be interesting to see due to the abbreviated season.
