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.

I eject someone thusly:

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. ]

Didn't really look flagrant to me...just the defender realizing too late that he bit off more than he could chew in stepping in front of the ballhandler. He realizes he wasn't going to slow down, so he just kinda ducked to absorb the imminent impact to try to protect his goofy azz.

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.

this is how officials get into trouble -- one play and conflicting results. just from how he was shooting freethrows he comes off as a goof who doest give a crap. there shouldnt be much doubt that he wasnt trying to be funny or do something more stupid however there are a few here that would allow him to continue being funny.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.
