Contact (like the one I described) in the rules = contact sport :P
Contact in the sport = a sport where people sometimes come into contact with each other, can be non-contact or contact.
:lol:
I reckon we both know what the other means now, so I reckon we can be done with this.
I'm right, though :snooty:
No Snny. Basketball has intentional contact within the rules.Quote:

If you wish to take the position that deliberately breaking the rules is not cheating, fair enough.
However that smacks of a "win at all costs, if you get away with it then it's OK" mentality. I have to observe that this would be consistent with your previous posts.
Sry bud I ain't prim and propa and neither is the world.Quote:

This is win at all costs mentality. That shit is frowned upon.
I wonder if you have even seen a basketball game.
Did say to yourself..."How can they purposely give up a foul? That team is cheating."
Look at this geeksquad member that I had to sit beside at the game...

The rules you cited were rules regarding maintaining a defense position. (unless I've missed something and you've gone and posted some groundbreaking new rules.) they were also considered exceptions, which would make them inconsequential when defining the game anyway.Quote:

Those rules are there so the offensive player can't force you to back off when you are trying to block him. they aren't there to allow the kind of contact that would make it a contact sport, but rather to say that it's ok if you happen to touch him when he's moving against you. It doesn't mean that you are allowed to try and touch him.
But you knoes this, so I don't know why you persist.
It's intentional contact. You are also able to smack a hand that's in contact with the ball.Quote:

You can't let the exception define the rule. We've done this :mellow:
