Jmo, Z, but I think that good game management was getting this crap in the first place so that it doesn't escalate into something else. Whether it was live ball/dead ball is kinda secondary. Calling it a personal foul just ain't a biggie imo.
Thornley was the guy on the spot. He's got an idea of what was going on out there and what he thinks should be done to keep the game under control. He sureasheck has got a better idea of what
needed to be called at that particular time in the game than any of us armchair officials. He may have had good reason to go the personal foul route too....reason that we aren't privvy too. We don't know about any previous personal warnings, etc.
