I agree with BillyMac and the officiating director...I don't see this as anything more than a common foul. I do not think he kicked at the player on the floor. I think he was flailing around trying to get the ball free and the foot to the face was the unfortunate result. A foul, absolutely. Flagrant, I don't think so.
Heck, some might even make the argument that it should have been a block on the player that was on the floor since the player on the floor didn't have LGP (NCAA-M interpretation).

I think the reason A1 goes to check on the kicked player is that A1 realized how hard he had kicked him when his own foot got injured from the kick.

Since it was during a dead ball...it becomes incidental....and is ignored.

Got it, you have a common foul if it was live but since it occured during a dead ball you're ignoring.

The "God complex" guy's description of the action is exactly as I see it. The kick is a result of A1 twisting and trying to regain possession while being fouled from behind. And I'm guessing he gave his resume because his judgement/opinion on the matter was being questioned by the OP.

What this kid did was wrong, in my opinion he definitely kicked AT the defender, but I don't think he MEANT to kick him in the face. In my opinion, he quickly realized what had happened and wanted to check and see if the defender was alright. He should be charged with a technical foul for the kicking action, but in my opinion that is all. It appears these are middle school aged kids, and where I would disagree with the league director/veteran official is in the fact that he suspects that kids this age would react to a situation like this in the same way that older players would. I don't think that's necessarily true. I suspect that the kid did learn a valuable lesson about keeping his cool on the floor and hopefully he and his parents write a letter of apology to the injured player. For the league director to act like there was NOTHING wrong, sounds like an excuse to not to have to deal with a bad situation.

There are no single dead ball contact technical fouls in HS, we either ignore it or we have decisions to make. We have a few of our own that have said this is NOTHING more than a common foul. So it is a judgment thing.

Tape dont lie (if you look at it honestly) Not to be too critical, but I still say the officials held ball officiating skills were MIA.

A lot of coaches and refs do not like to see/admit any play in basketball is deliberately dirty. I think it helps to have played and to have played recently to be able to differentiate between a deliberate attempt to trip, kick or any dirty play vs. those who have not played ever or in a long time. There are very few times a ballplayer does not know exactly what he is doing and when a ballplayer is really out of control it is obvious. There are people out there who do not believe Artest's elbow was intentional. There is always someone who disagrees no matter how obvious.
To me this play was obviously intentional. For whatever reason, the kid kicked the other kid on purpose. Maybe he regretted it, maybe not, but he purposely kicked the other kid and if I saw this I would throw him out. |

A lot of players are idiots and having played, despite their claims that it makes a difference, doesn't give them any particular ability to discern anything about anything.

I believe he's talking about officials having a high basketball IQ or a feel for the way the game is played due to them playing the game (at a high level) before picking up the whistle.
Personally, I think bball IQ can be learned if an official never played. You've got to think, if 2 officials that began the craft on the same day, but 1 played (at high competitive level) & the other 1 didnt, the former would advance quicker due to his knowledge & understanding of the game. After all, how is a male virgin gonna tell another guy how to hit a womans G-Spot. IJS
