From the article:

"[Cole Vanderbilt] a tough kid, but those that know him know he's a teddy bear," Connell coach Oscar Garza told the Tri-City Herald. "My 7-year-old son loves him and lights up when he's around. But on (YouTube) he's the world's meanest, ugliest kid. It's not fair, but I just want him to know his teammates and coaches are behind him."

Which is exactly why the coach, as well as the players should be disciplined.

BTW, the officials don't get a free pass either.

Classic example of horse**** game management. Assuming these are in chronological order.

1. Common foul
2. common foul
3. intentional
4. intentional
5. flagrant
6 flagrant never would have happened because 34 would be gone.

You take care of business early and you get rid of the trouble makers by getting them in foul trouble. In a rough physical cheap shot game you IMHO call everthing to keep it under control.

That crew has no business reffing a Frosh B game much less a Varsity contest.

What? How can it be a common foul when the player was in the act of shooting?

C'mon gordon30307. There's a reason why most officials consider Rule 4 the most important rule in the book.

"His teammates and coaches are behind him," because they know what kind of a bully he is, and they don't want any payback from him if they were to criticize his actions. His actions in the video are deplorable! He stands flat-footed and doesn't even jump, in his feigned attempts to block the ball, because he really has no intention to do so -- he really intended to lay one on the ball-handler.
It's safer to be behind him, because being in front of him, especially with your back to him, is too good of a target. Watching him comment to his teammate after a couple of the incidents really exposes his attitude! The two of them must be a joy in the hallways!
