Just because it's in a basketball game doesn't make it ok to assault someone. The precedent has already been set for charges against a player. Yes, I think criminal charges could be justified. Doesn't the guy who hires the goons deserve something?

Snaq, are you a criminal lawyer? If you are not, your comments are merely your opinion. I've learned in my life it is prudent not to speak expertly on a topic you know little about. By the way, what precedent? For a hard foul?

Why don't you read what I wrote? I said, "I think...." Ergo, it's my opinion. If you're not reading what I write, you probably shouldn't try to disagree with me.
As for the precedent, there have already been cases, in athletic contests, where a player was injured (even slightly) by a "hard foul." The key here is that it was purposeful, and the intent was to foul hard. Or, as Chaney said, to "goon it up."
Now, if you disagree, so be it. This is an opinion board, and I'm offering my opinion.
