Hard foul ... and more?
First, let me say I'm not an official. I'm a coach of some three decades and I really enjoy the game management that officials provide. I seem to equally enjoy the conversations around rules, enforcement, and the myriad viewpoints of you guys running the floor. So thanks for this forum.
Should I ever be out of line, and I doubt that will be the case, please feel free to set me straight.
Here I'm posting a play from a recent HS BV game in Seattle. I realize the video makes it difficult to determine the nature or degree of the foul. But I'm wondering about the nuances differentiating a tough, hard-nosed foul from an intentional or flagrant.
Here the shooter is airborne but is the contact excessive merely because the shooter goes down hard? (19.3.d).
