Cool

Ya'know - I think the penalty for a flagrant foul is too severe. So, the next time B1 punches A1 in the face, I'll just give A1 one free throw and let his team inbound half the ball. I'll also throw B1 halfway out of the game.

Guys, "modifying" a penalty by making an incorrect call is not fair to either team. This is similar to the thinking the NBA had under the old "forceout" rule. They finally came around to realize either the contact was severe enough to be called a foul, or else it wasn't and you had a turnover. It couldn't be "sort of a foul but not really".
