Cheap shot foul on dunk temporarily paralyzes Indiana star

[Ignats75]

I was T in a FROSH Tourney game a couple of weeks ago. A1 had a clear path to the basket and as he was going up for a layup, got pushed in the back so hard he went horizontal and landed up against the wall. My partner was straight-lined on the push, so I came in hard with the intentional foul sign and then immediately without thinking did the baseball ejection sign like the kid was Earle Weaver. I guess my instincts were in full engagement at that point.

Then, I almost forgot to file the paperwork with the OHSAA. Thank the Lord they allow E-mails.

Nice call. It's nice to see that you upgraded your call from an INT to a DQ.

Plays like these is why I support the clear path rule. FIBA has it - and it's a UNS at minimum, and the NBA has it's version too.
