I was using the X to signify the crossed arms. Just extra emphasis.

That's what I was afraid of....

Wrong signal. The crossed arms is the signal for an intentional foul, not a flagrant foul. It's signal #34 on the NFHS chart. Intentional fouls and flagrant fouls are completely different animals, with completely different penalties. There is no official signal for a flagrant foul. A lot of officials do use the old baseball umpire heave-ho though.

Wow...that kid is a class 1 azz-hole...he has no business being on a basketball court. That was a deliberate act intended to hurt someone...hopefully the hurt kid's parents filed some kind of charges against the idiot. I have watched that thing 5 or 6 times now and I still can't believe he did that...

Intentional block.
Nothing flagrant there.
Kid that fell probably wasn't even hurt unless he landed strangely on his left wrist.

So you're letting this kid continue to play?

You guys play some hardazz basketball U.P. there.

If the blocker has been overly aggressive in other instances during the game, then surely, I'll take him out. But in that game shown, I didn't see anything to confirm that was the case.

The other kid probably hopped up and continued, as soon as he got patted on the head a couple times. [Didn't see that part of the game either. ]

Are you serious, Mick...the kid turns his body and dives into the dribbler's legs...dribbler then lands on his neck/shoulder area...even if he does bounce right back up, that is absolutely a non-basketball play and gets that little turd tossed right then and there...

YU.P. I'm runnin' right alongside of Bad Zebra. The only reason I consider it an intentional was cuz it was way to close to the moving player and way too stoopid.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.
