20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
As you descibe it, no I would not call it a foul because if you did not hit the wrist the result would be the same...blocked shot.

Sorry, I am no expert on Fiba rules.
Share Answer: 
Once a violation, always a violation. The referee should hold a fist straight out indicating a delayed violation. If the free throw does not go in, it is shot again.
Share Answer: 
This is one of the 5 correctable errors in the rule book when recognized before the next dead ball, but the remedy is to correct the error on the free throw, but lt keeps the subsequent results. If A2 would have made the free throw it could have been reversed, but in this case no free throw needs to be taken down and subsequent results stand. A3s basket counts. Ball gies to B.

If time has expired and the ball is dead, a personal foul is ignored unless flagrant. If flagrant, it is enforced at the start of the next quarter, unless the game has ended.
Share Answer: 
This is a new one for me! Yes, I would call it unsportsmanlike.
Share Answer: 
Yes, as long as you keep your pivot foot in place, or if you have no pivot foot, you keep both feet down. Not sure why you would do this, even if it is legal.
