    No.

    My point is that there will be no adjustments.

    No, the rule is any foul "away from the play", whether it is intentional or not is irrelevant in the last two minutes.

    "The current rule for away-from-the-play fouls applicable to the last two minutes of the fourth period (and last two minutes of any overtime) -- pursuant to which the fouled team is awarded one free throw and retains possession of the ball -- will be extended to the last two minutes of each period."

    Otherwise the Blazers should've just ran over Plumlee away from the play.

    Loose ball foul is still a loose ball foul. So i don't see that being the case. But i can't argue it because it seems to be very unclear.

    Or it's just a testament to how bad Pat has been.

    6 minutes.

    Loose ball foul would be on like a rebound or a dive for a ball. Those fouls occur during an actual basketball play (like my example of if someone is setting a screen they can be fouled since they are part of the play). The foul on Nurk was NOT part of the play. He was standing in the key no where near the ball, that isn't a loose ball foul.

    Honestly I can’t disagree with you on this at all. Just looking for why they might have called it that way?
