It's tough when you have teams of different sizes. Small players go flying on legal plays, and fly harder on normal fouls than would players that equal the size of the opponents.

1. Legal screen, no problem, but you know the crowd will be upset - can't let that influence your thinking on future calls.

2. Two - handed shove hard into the wall on a lay-in, I'd have to see it but it sure sounds flagrant. But make the call based on what happened on that play on the court, not because the crowd is already mad about play 1.

3. B floors A (obviously I assume that's what you meant) hard, again I'd have to see. If it was clearly intentional and that hard, probably flagrant again.

Could have had two disqualifications, and one DQ (if it was warranted) may have been enough to prevent the second hard foul.
