Nice story. Worth making a fuss about in this day and age of a 100-0 game and a coach who trips a player, etc.

It's easy to think that things are getting worse. But I think that there have always been miscreants who did this kind of thing. The difference is that 30 years ago we started seeing this crap on TV, and now there's YouTube.

People are stunningly bad at assessing risk. Quirk of evolution. :shrug:

Would totally agree with this observation. Never said things were getting worse, or had become worse. The implication was simply: With so much bad/questionable conduct one can point to, it's great to see someone with integrity given the spotlight.

Just curious, why didn't the shooting team just violate? I don't want to diminish what was done, but it could have been done without having the player hurt his stats.

I'm guessing they just thought this was the easiest or maybe they didn't think of your, or other possible options at the time.

You're probably right. They may not even know you can violate during a T shot.
