Technical Situation

[Brian Watson]

I got slammed on an earlier thread for my opinion on this situation.

I think you need to use common sense to determine if the act was flagrant, but it something needs to be called. Personally, I feel if the other players' back is turned, it is flagrant. They have no idea that ball is coming, have no opportunity to get out of the way, and it could cause serious injury or a brawl. I think there is no difference in throwing the ball at the back of a player and throwing a punch. It is intentional and dangerous.

Now if they were facing each other, and A1 throws one of those short,hard chest passes I probably would not consider this flagrant.

What does Mr. T think???
