The MI player lost his cool. If he is going to get right up in someone's mug, what does he expect at this level? Should the offensive player just give him the ball?
He's going to make an effort to get him away. Most of these plays are about the guys showing some respect for each other. Lack of that is what starts the problems.
Nevada, this is a good point. What is the player supposed to do when someone is in his face? I think they should have a right to move/swing within reason and if contact occurs the defender should be responsible to prohibiting the offensive player's movement.
