If the intent wasn't to hurt the opponent, why the T?

A1 used enough force to put B1 on the floor, and also out of the game. And this happened in a kid's game too. If you feel that is appropriate behavior, so be it. I don't. Jmo, but I think that if you lets acts like that go, you are going to have some real big-time game management issues someday- even under FIBA rules.

Too many times in this forum I see us being too quick to judge a situation when we weren't there to see it. In this case the force was applied, "Just as the whistle blows for the jump ball." According to the poster who was there it was so close to the whistle that it is a legitimate question as to if it should be ignored. And, having worked with junior high kids, I know that they can be clumsy, not able to react right away and in most instances not mean-spirited. Bottom line: I wasn't there.
