The point is this. Just because someone got hurt does not mean that a foul should have been called or that it made things worse. Basketball is a game where contact occurs and it is allowed. If it was not, any touch would result in ejection immediately. It sounded to me that you were implying that the officials allowed this player to get poked in the eye. Well even if a foul was called on the player being poked in the eye, he still would have been poked in the eye. Our job is to call what takes place, not to prevent everything that can possibly happen on the basketball court.

Again, I never said the poke in the eye was the foul...I'm not sure how you can justify the statement that it did not make things worse...not only have the refs allowed one player to jump on top of another, but as a result of that the team now loses it's best player and leading scorer in a very tight game...that most certainly does make the situation worse...anyway...how bout them BoSox???
