I notice WHITE player give a huge retaliation push and has now assumed the stance of Mike Tyson ready to fight, BLUE player just backed up, as he wanted no part of fighting....I immediatley blow the whistle and bang both players with Ts.

Grab my partner and inform him what I have, go to the table and inform them, then the coaches. FLAGRANT T on WHITE, he's gone...Unsporting T on Blue...he'll stay around...

Colt, IMO the result of White player being ejected is the correct call. I'm not sure you can find rules under NFHS to support the Flagrant but I believe 1 Technical for the push is warranted under (9-3-7...Unsporting Foul) and a 2nd Technical against White for the Mike Tyson bit is warranted under (9-3-7c...Baiting or taunting an opponent).

Also, I do believe it was a good call to hit BLUE with the Technical under (9-3-7...Unsporting Foul) since there was pushing involved (plus sending a message to BLUE to cease further action is a good thing).

Again this is my opinion...
