Would you call a flagrant foul if this same foul was committed by a point guard on #34?

You're very quick to ask others to read exactly what you posted and I'll ask you to do the same. I didn't say #1 was flagrant. I said after seeing how the player made a feeble attempt to block the shot on #1, but IMO, made every attempt to make contact with the shooter
, his attempt to take the shooters head off on #3 becomes flagrant in my book.
The ball didn't even make it higher than the shooters hip on #3, so I'm not going with the "he made an attempt to play the ball and just happened to make contact" bullcrap. FYI, this isn't happening in a vacuum either. I'm having a direct conversation with the player after #1 and if the opportunity presented itself, I'd let the coach know I had a conversation with his player. If neither took the opportunity to change the situation, then #3 is his ticket to watch the rest of the game from one of the best seats in the house.
