Why is pumpfaking and jumping INTO the defender not an offensive foul?

It's an ugly move and makes basketball less watchable IMO. I remember Rose tried it against Indy in game 1 and it pissed me off.

to fellow referees: you call the rip through foul every time right? what if there is only contact on the hand? does hand on ball rule apply?

I usually don't make that call. I officiate 5th and 6th grade YMCA boys, though. They're stupid as shit. They don't even know how to dribble. This should be a damn thread. I have so many ridiculous officiating stories. I have been yelled at by like 50 different head coaches for making OBVIOUS calls.
