Foul resulting in Rajon Rondo ejection

Thoughts on the foul vs. jump ball with 3.3 left on shot clock in Celtics vs. Hawks game? Hate the former player announcers...big surprise they want a jump ball.

Ejection absolutely and hope Rajon gets another game suspension.

The play in question and subsequent ejection:

Ah the double tap and heave ho. Well handled IMO.

As for the foul, I didn't have a problem with it. It appears as though Bass hits the opponent in the face. Players and announcers erroneously think that a loose ball is carte blanche for any and all contact. The subsequent technical fouls issued by Marc Davis were about as easy as they come.

Great call, the end result looked like a held ball but there was headlock prior to that. Shaq & Chuck felt as though he should've tailored the call to the time of year, score & shot clock... obviously the League doesn't teach or support that.

The first T for barking at the ref...good call.

At first I felt the 2nd T was perhaps a bit quick...until they showed the 2nd camera angle where he was still going at him and the bump....automatic.

In an interview with Rondo on ESPN Rondo even admitted he deserved the first technical but that he did not mean to bump into the official and that he tripped over the officials foot as you can see is what happened in the final camera angle. I can give him the benefit of the doubt over tripping a little bit in this case but players chest bumping officials like that is a definite toss.

Even if he did "trip" over the official's foot, it only happened because he was trying to intimidate the official.

The trip was actually over another player's foot....I don't think he knew what he tripped on.
