Phone home E.T. cause you've been tossed,, bye bye!

There is no way. I can't imagine a player doing this. But anything is possible I guess. I would give the T and move on. I made my point. Flagrant? I wouldn't second guess anyone who calls it.

After thinking about it further, bad things could happen by allowing the player to stay in the game. We don't have to give two Ts to eject him. What if a kid says "ref you are a bleeper bleeping bleep?" He's gone on one T in my game so I don't think there should be a problem with getting rid of him. In my day I would want him to stay in if I was playing against him. There would be some kind of payback. Just get rid of the problem.

That is FLAGRANT unsportsmanlike conduct if I have ever heard it!

I would run over to him and grab the Sharpie out of my sock and ask him to autograh the basketball for me to give to my Finacial Advisor! He's gonna be the next LeBron (T.O.) James!

Maybe after the fact we might say hey, that could of or should have been Flagrant. This is something that none of us would EVER expect to happen in a game we are officiating.

Right on all accounts. This cannot be real.
