Uncalled Cheap Shots

A few years ago, in a FB game, we had such a player. He managed to behave himself for a while, but then shoved a shooter on a layup attempt in the second quarter. Easy intentional for me.

Third quarter, same scenario unfolds, but this shooter is smaller and the defender shoves two hands through his back. My partner tossed him without hesitating.

That second foul, by itself, would have possibly been an intentional in other games; but in context, that kid needed to sit.

His parents didn't agree, however. Dad tried following us into the locker room (I found out later) and Mom called the home school (he was on the visiting team) to complain about how we had deprived her son of the right to play the next game.
