I disagree with the flagrant technical. Yes it was a hard foul, but I don't think it warrants an ejection and 1 game suspension (at least here in MA). No doubt the contact was excessive, and that's why I'd stick with an intentional technical/personal. Based on the footage, it looks like the defender made an attempt at the ball (he jumped with his arms outstretched). If he wanted to be malicious, he wouldn't have jumped and just could've undercut the shooter, or else would've gone shoulder-first towards the shooter like a football block. The only way I'd have flagrant is if these 2 teams were jarring with each other all night and maybe there were a couple of hard fouls previously, or if there's a bad history in the rivalry of these 2 schools.
