That is the scenario that I would have gone with. I don't have a major problem with what the officials ruled, I have consistently expressed a differing opinion....isn't there room for a differing opinion? Do you absolutely have to be right and I have to be completely wrong?

Jeff, originally I wasn't sure it was a flagrant, but that was my slight misunderstanding of the wording of the rule - I agree with the play now, but like Rut mentioned, in real time the first time around, I was not sure what it was at all. But replays and a full understanding of the rules later, I agree.
As for the bizzare responses you generated, I have to say I'm a little surprised at it all. Not much you can do, though.
