    - He's not arguing what the rule is, just why it's so stupid. -- nm - pmb Jul 2, 14:29 8
      - so the penalty is detairminf by how great a chance it is? - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:30 7
        
        The sport already accepts that that's true. Other penalties (or even that penalty elsewhere on the field) don't result in the ball being placed in - pmb Jul 2, 14:36 1

      - I shouldn't say "equivalent" I should say "analogous". - musubi Jul 2, 14:35 2
        
        Sycor's comment that it's more like goaltending in basketball is really the right analogy. -- nm - pmb Jul 2, 14:37 1
        
        Not from the players perspective. He knew it was a foul. A goal tend is not usually intentional. (nm) - musubi Jul 2, 14:40
    - The difference is that in basketball there are nearly 100 scoring chances per game and nearly half are converted. In a game that has a handful of - pmb Jul 2, 14:31 1
