I'd like to see the video of the entire game.
But it's telling to me that we have all of those hard fouls and not a single official closes distance to provide a presence in the middle of the players to prevent any retaliation.
Jeff mentioned it earlier -- these officials simply don't seem to have any awareness.
A couple of comments on particular fouls -- my comments earlier I'm pretty happy with, but to clarify:
#2 would not be considered intentional ever. Stupid? Yes. It's not even close to being an intentional foul *even with* the other fouls to put it in context.
#5 is flagrant. Yes, the kid's momentum provides a lot of what puts him on the ground, but it's the blatant disregard for the opponent that causes that, IMO.
