Is kicking another player a flagrant foul by rule? Yes, it is.

So, if you had it to do over again you would call a flagrant foul? No, I would not. It did not fit this game and situation. I judged and would again it to be similar to extending a forearm to create space and not an act that should be judged as flagrant. [/B][/QUOTE]Dev, that's certainly good enough for me. I was just pointing out that, by rule, a kick is a flagrant act. In real life, the official on the firing line has to make the exact same decisions that you made above: was this particular act really a flagrant act? Did the game situation really warrant that extreme action should be taken in this particular case? As you said, does the call fit this particular game and this particular situation?

I wasn't there and I didn't see the call. That means that I really don't have any grounds that will allow me to second-guess your judgement on your call. Which means I ain't gonna even think of second-guessing you. You were there. If you thought it was the right call for that situation, then it was the right call.
