In my scrimmage yesterday against a virutally equal opponent, my same PG got 3 fouls in 12 minutes. He didn't start, but obviously would have been gone in the 2nd qtr if he did. This is 3 games in a row after never happening before. I've used man and zone. Seems like there must be a change to the game. Or did my PG wake up one morning and decide he will foul on every possession?

Probably his girlfriend left him, his dog bit him and there were mouse droppings in his morning cereal. No wonder he is mad as a hornet.

Has your PG been defending superior players? And has he been fouling more on jumpers, drives or non-shooting fouls?

In one case maybe, in the other 2, not. More drives it seems, and almost all shooting fouls. My PG's relevant skills:
OD- 13
ID- 5
BLK- 1
STAM - 9
GS- 8/9
It's USA D4, and he leads the league in steals.

He may be playing opponents with higher DR/IS. I know there have been discussions about the correlations between DR/IS and OD/ID when it comes to drives.

I'd presume that the 1 in shotblocking is in some way a factor here.

I suppose. I just wish the BB universe would decide whether 1) point guards need to be great shot blockers or 2) you should never train PGs in shot blocking and if you try they will punish you with a 40% training penalty (and slow training due to height).

I should add that in my last game, the player in question scored 31 points, 8 assists, and just 1 foul. So he's OK again after 3 straight foul-outs. Wait...6-6-6. He's possessed!!

You should update this later on to fill us in how you're doing.

Curious case indeed!

Thanks...the last three games have been back to normal, with 1 or 2 fouls over 30-40 minutes. I don't know what's different. I did train in shot blocking, which I guess gave him a 0.00001 skill increase. (Thanks, training!) I guess the basketball gods just didn't like him for a week.

My opponent tomorrow has a PG who is much better, so I'll see how that matchup goes. But last time they played, just 1 foul in 30 minutes. So bizarre!
