Juulie, can you clarify what you meant by "As she runs past A1, A1 reaches out and hits her. It was calculated, cold-blooded vengeance."

You are the only one that was there and you are the only one that can describe what was done.

Was the ball on the other end of the court away from the players?

Could what have happened be considered swing of the arms while running and hit the opponent?

Did she pull back and extend her arm to deliberately make a slapping/hitting contact with the opponent?

Could the player have taken a different path to avoid getting that close to the other player?

It seems like the different opinions could be resolved, reach common ground or at least come within shouting distance once it is clarified.
Jurassic/coach, do you think a flagrant and ejection should happen if something occurs that falls under the definition of fighting or is that conditional based on the outcome of the act and/or the climate of the game?
Blindzebra, do you think that a fighting act should be penalized no matter what?
I think (hope) we can all agree that if this isn't an act that would be considered fighting the player should remain in the game right?

I think I've been very clear where I stand, if a player attempts to strike another player they get tossed.
