I might have asked you about upgrading if I knew you didn't know about the blood.

What does blood have to do with the act?

I've seen plenty players take a charge or get blasted by a legal screen & the result was blood everywhere. Blood alone isnt enough for an upgrade...

Taking a charge and an off-ball elbow to the nose are very different fouls.

Mos Def!! My point is the act itself is what we should rule on not simply because a player is bleeding.

Smitty said it right: an elbow to the nose is not a basketball play.
