    No, but the fact that the refs call the fould 98% of the time is what is annoying. Sometimes when a defender falls for the fake, he lands and barely touches the shooter, yet a foul gets called.

    fakes are intended to get the defense out of position. whatever advantage the offense gains by doing so is rightfully theirs, including drawing a foul.

    Agreed. The only thing that is bad about this is the refs often make anticipation calls. They call a foul just because the play probably would end up being a foul.

    One of the first things you learn as a KID when playing defense, do not leave your feet. No it's not cheap

    I agree whole heartedly! If you go straight up & get hit, you have been fouled. If you lean or jump into the defender, then it should be an offensive foul. I love the way Kevin Martin plays, sometimes when he draws a foul, he looks like he's wearing Micheal Jackson's leaning shoes.

    No. What's cheap is when players take the bait and reenacts a scene from his favorite Bruce Lee movie.

    If the contact is real its a good play ... selling contact that doesn't happen is a little cheap.
