This is exactly what I thought when I read "he didn't think it was violent enough". Just didn't get here fast enough.
There are obviously non-flagrant fouls that can be committed with the leg (accidental trip, blocking, etc.), but in a situation where a player intentional extends the leg to strike an opponent. . . he gone!
