I have; actually I was officiating it. A big man caught a rebound, brought the ball at face height, took a brief look behind him and swung his elbow hitting an opponent right in his face. The opponent did just like Sylvester the cat when hit by a club and the big man walked away even before seeing me signalling the ejection.
Probably there had been some previous, unnoticed, roughness between the two.
That player used to play physically, perhaps hard, at times, but I'd never seen anything like that from him.
