In a nutshell, that's the way it works. The state office reserves the right to levy harsher penalties than the minimum at its discretion depending upon the manner in which the individual offended. However, fighting carries the stiffest of listed sanctions. I don't see why anyone would have difficulty fathoming that.
I didn't write the regulations for the governing authority, but in this regard they are clear and make sense to me. I know of one case in which the instigator of a fight received a suspension which was three times as long as the individual who retaliated. Last edited by Nevadaref; Tue Feb 09, 2010 at 04:36am. |

Fair enough. The point being that each case does receive individual attention and is not rubber stamped based on any single word, whether that word be fighting or something else.

I would like to add a point that might be implicit here: namely, that fighting is not the only reason for calling a flagrant foul. Clear intent to injure is also one, and deliberately aiming the ball at an opponent's head serves no other purpose, so...
I have no idea whether fighting receives special treatment in my state or whether the first-punch thrower gets it worse, or anything else about sanctions. That's all above my pay grade: I just call the foul and write the report.

![]() Now the debate has been whether the action constitutes fighting or is simply a flagrant technical foul for unsporting conduct. Care to make a choice? ![]() |

The act being discussed doesn't meet the definition of fighting as outlined in rule 4-18. It does meet the definition of a flagrant technical foul under 4-19-5(b) & 4-19-4. |

That's what I wrote back in post #6, but several others disagreed.
