I was coming out with a block......until the whole wiping shoe on head incident. Also consider that in Middle Eastern culture the bottom of the shoe is the biggest insult you can give someone. It is considered vulgar to display the soles of your shoes so imagine stomping on a head!

I gotta admit, that's one of the most flagrant fouls I've seen. I can't even imagine what was going through his mind when he did it. Does anyone know what action was eventually taken against this jerk?

At least he said he was sorry.

Let's see if I can do this right...

Common foul at the most...probably just incidental contact.

No...doesn't look right. Can I get a Snaqs consult on this?

I've got a tripping foul on 31 white. :D

Seriously, say what you will about the NBA, but this would have been taken care of instead of his teammates all staring at the officials waiting for a whistle.

Looked like he stayed in the game :eek:

The foul called was an UNS foul - akin to the TF. 2 UNS and you're gone.

For once, I agree with Mark!

How can stomping on somebody's head like that NOT be an ejection in ANY sport under ANY ruleset?

Un-freaking-believable.:rolleyes:

Maybe there was an AR that stated stepping on a head is an UNS foul. :D
