A follow up. For those that saw the play, if they had caught it in time, do you think the elbow by the ball handler Graham rose to the level that it would have been a flagrant one? The ball handler when accelerating past the defender in the paint used his arm in a clearing motion and got it high enough that it inadvertently caught the defender in the head, and he went down. Accidental, but clearly contact.
and a related question , has the emphasis on paying particular attention to contact to the head, even when inadvertent, been lessened? I'm not aware that it has been, but am being told this.
Thanks,
