Indirect on B coach.

B shoots 2.

A shoots 2 and gets the ball at half court, no arrow change.

Now, we could charge A1 with fighting as well, since the push could fall under an unsporting act that leads to another player retaliating.

Agree, but calling it a fight is a stretch imo. The melee woulda been over without B6's over-reaction.


Nevada will be along sometime though to report that some state handed down a ruling that, yes indeedy, it was a fight and A1 and B6 should both be charged with fighting flagrant fouls and ejected. Iow, it's a double flagrant technical foul. I don't agree with that ruling personally.
