I do not see the delema here?
In this game he better hope it is on radio because that is the only way he gets to hear the end of this one.
Whack Flagrant lets move on.
In high school I wouldn't have a problem with a flagrant here either!
Why would you pass - the ten players on the floor and the scorers table heard it. Which means you heard it that is all that is required.
Where does not that fit under the definition of Unsporting or Flagrant
Rule 4
Section 19
ART. 4 . . . A flagrant foul may be a personal or technical foul of a violent or savage nature, or a technical noncontact foul which displays unacceptable conduct. It may or may not be intentional. If personal, it involves, but is not limited to violent contact such as: striking, kicking and kneeing. If technical, it involves dead-ball contact or noncontact at any time which is extreme or persistent, vulgar or abusive conduct. Fighting is a flagrant act.
This was called in the UC/WV game the other night on Cronin, he added family ties to it and said it directly to the official, but he launched it out their and got his T for it.
having said all that;
if you choose for some reason not to hand out a well deserved T here, in FED or NCAA, you better at a minimum issue that warning (even if there really isn't one in FED) to let everyone in the facility know that you have this under control, and if it happens again there are going to be consequenses period !
however even in the NCAA sombody is going to ask you why you didn't deal with this if someone brings it up later. Now most days even though we can all read lips they just pass this stuff by as acceptable, who's fault is it?
OURS because we do not deal with it we have let it become an acceptable action and therefore those who do deal with it are the exception not the rule.
