HS Intentional/Flagrant VIDEO

[WhistlesAndStripes]

As the first person in this thread to have mentioned the "upgrade based on reaction" to the first foul, I would like to rescind that statement. In reading the discussion here, I have been educated, and I realize that there is no justification in the book for said upgrade as the original foul, in my opinion, was not an unsporting act.

Thank you all for your comments and incites.

That would lead to an upgrade, however, if someone reacts to it.

This is the type of response which makes it worth it for me to spend my time on this forum. Learning that a fellow official gained a better understanding of a rule and its proper application because of our discussion verifies the value and purpose of this.
*Now we will add a quick lesson on homonyms because of Camron's humorous comment.
