Hit's a Foul!

[Nu1]

"I'm not saying that more intentional fouls should not be called. I'm saying, and I can't say it any more clearly, if a player strikes another player or attempts to strike another player that player has committed a flagrant foul.

It does not matter if a common foul may have had more contact. You throw a punch and you are gone.

Like I said earlier you can have a common foul, an intentional foul, or a flagrant on that layup coach and the official has to judge which kind of foul occured. There is no such distinction on a punch. Punch = fight = ejection."

I'm agreeing with BlindZebra on this. I don't think there is any other reasonable choice if a player takes a swing.

I know this may be apples and oranges, or even bananas...but, what if...
1. A player curses after an official's call, what does he or she get? A "T"?
2. A player takes a swing at an official...hit or miss...what do they get?
