Some advice please....
I am catching some heat for ejecting a player who received back to back 3-minute fouls each for unsportsmanlike conduct fouls. As I understand Rule 5-10, "Flagrant misconduct is an expulsion foul". It is my job at the time to determine whether it was flagrant or not. Had it been early in the game, I probably would have let the kid stay and the fouls would have just been part of the five per game he is allowed to accumulate. As it was, there were 7 1/2 minutes left in the game, he had just been given 6 minutes worth of penalties, and I decided not to let him come back in the last 90 seconds of a game that had already been decided, and give him the opportunity to try and finish what he started before.
Does anyone here see a problem with ejecting the player in that situation?
