When is a foul a foul?

[SBU72]

When it happens or or when the whistle blows?

 

[tbonezone]

i'll guess whistle.

 

[OrangeDW]

Not 90 feet from the hoop at the buzzer when it affects nothing!

 

[SUSScuse]

When you're hit on the arm going up for the game winning lay up at the end of regulation?
Oh...Sorry, must have missed that one.

 

[81South]

Trick question?

IF there's no whistle, then there's no foul. Period.

It's only a foul if it gets called.

Remember when CJ got his face split open, and there was no whistle, but he was bleeding and needed stitches?
That wasn't a foul. according to the refs.
