BYU-UTAH

[gsf23]

Last night during BYU-UTAH game an interesting question came up I thought.

Utah's center Andrew Bogut goes up for a slam with BYU's Chris Miles. Bogut hung on the rim a bit, but may have been trying to avoid MIles, when he did come down, he landed on top of Miles and both fell to the floor. While on the floor, Miles gave Bogut a pretty good kick in the back.

Miles was giving a T for the kick but a point that the announcers brought up was could that be considered fighting, same as throwing a punch?

Bogut wasn't on top of Miles at the time, so it wasn't a kick to get off me, and Miles really did wind up and kick Bogut fairly hard I thought.

So just thoughts on if anyone out there would have considered this fighting and given him the ejection or does it have to be a punch for that?
