I say it cause during the report of the game, I often see that the commentator says "Foul called on...": you know who the foul was called on, but you do not know who drew the foul! :)

i dont have any proof, but by logic, drawing foul could be tied into experience and driving. Driving is obvious since the more you drive and get banged up in the paint, the more fouls you are likely to draw from opponents. I say experience because supposedly experience allows a player to take smart shots and play better. A lot of the time (if you watch NBA), when a defender commits to a pump fake, a shooting foul is inevitable as long as you toss your hands in the air to act like you are shooting and make body contact. (Kobe is really good at this) An unexperienced player might not take advantage of the commitment from the defender.


I think a foul drawing skill is not concrete enough to be a skill by itself.

IN Us we also look at how fouls are drawn.

Its called FTA .


so a dude getting three freethorws, was fouled at a 3 pointer, one 2 pointer and a bonus free throw, or 3 bonus free throws :) or have you a way to tell how often he got fouled?

Getting a foul that doesn't get you to the line just disrupts your offense. Its better to have the ball flowing and offence moving in most cases than to have the ball taken out again.


If the defensiv player have more fouls, it disrupt their defense and not much your offense - especially when he have a little bit foul trouble or brings you close to the bonus free throws.

To me a true sportsman doesn't try to mess around wtih the rules, he tries to win within the rules. Trying to get the ref to believe your opponent fouled you is kinda annoying, and boring. Its a strategy, but as a fan if I wanted to see that kind of stuff I'd watch pro-wrestling or slapstick comedy.


you really say, that you don't like player who make an defensiv stop in drawing an offensiv foul? Or make a tactical foul to regain defensiv position? Basketball had rules about fouling, because they are part of the game and really happen as a result of good playing ;)
