Ah, the officials measure from the inner edge of the throwing circle to where the shot first lands, and it's a foul if you step out the front—basic rules I learned watching the youngsters at the local ground. But what *makes* it a foul, truly? It's the lack of control, the rush that tips you over the line. I know because when I heave that heavy ball in the park gym, my fouls come from straining too hard, trying for a distance my old shoulders can't muster, chasing a young man's throw instead of the honest sweat of fitness.
