BJV game tonight. Score tied 48-48 with less than a minute to go. I called an intentional flagrant foul on #21 of the V. #4 of the H team misses the shots. They get the ball back and then they missed the last shot..... Game eventually went to double OT.

I tried Mark, really I did!

You're going to tease us with that and not share what he did?

The defensive player actually launched himself to hit the offensive player similar to a nice Jack Lambert or Mike Singletary like whack! I've never seen anything like it on the court before.

I just got a copy of the report my Association sent to the school and state (also a first for me).

I agree. It's fun to take pokes at participants in a game and tell fantastic tales of how we "put them in their place." But fact is, as the games gets more out of control, the more we need to be in control. The rowdier the fans are, the more we need to be less rowdy. The crazier a coach gets, the more controlled we need to be in our efforts.

Not trying to take the fun out of giving a "howler monkey" a zinger, but we all know it is a slippery slope. Be carerful

For the record, there's no such thing. You can have a:

intentional personal foul
intentional technical foul
flagrant personal foul
flagrant technical foul

But there's no such thing as an intentional flagrant foul.
