bktball ref,
i would consider this similar to a taunt(unsportsmanlike technical foul), kind of like a player bowing his chest into another player. i consider this a physical taunt with the penalty of a technical foul and if this player has been a disruptor previously i would eject. i would give a technical foul or to passify the rule an intentional foul in probly 99% of situatuions that are "nut flicks." this action, to me, is highly unacceptable and should be given a steep penalty.
j.r.
if you have the ability to remove this player from the game by telling the coach to sit him that could possibly be the best for that particular game. the only problem that enters my mind is consistency. what if(unlikely) a player from the other team does a similar act and the coach does not comply with your request to keep him on the bench? also if it were to happen in another game and a different crew ejected or penalized more severely and the coach could react negatively or he could appreciate you for being lenient.
i know i'm getting deep but i enjoy this debate.
