I got.....wait for it....."nuttin" :D

I got a guy who should be sent home by his country..........

The look on his face after the incident says it all.

Not sure he's worth $10 Million a year.

At minimum, UNS.

With a small lean to the Disqualifying foul. Though likely I'd stick with the UNS, just as the calling official did.

Wow... point deduction
 

Nice close down from the slot!

What's the over-under on how long the IOC will allow this on YouTube?

Anyway, speaking in NFHS terms, although I believe he was going for the balll -- er, the BASKETBALL -- you have to go INT here. I wouldn't have a problem if someone went flagrant.

In my rules sets I have Flagrant PF and a FF2.

Under 1 minute ago.

Winner!
 

Good call!

Same here. It's going to be hard - though not impossible, of course - for a coach to argue with an ejection on that type of play.

Well it was longer than a minute. I was able to capture the play for my training purposes. ;)

Peace

That's a punch and easy flagrant foul/flagrant two/punching foul. Batum said he did that because the Spanish team was flopping/embellishing the entire game. The final straw was probably a couple of plays earlier where Ronnie Turiaf was called for an unsportsmanlike foul where in reality, the Spanish player just threw his legs under himself and fell to the ground quite easily. A soccer player would have been proud.

Still, no excuse for that kind of play and easy disqualification/ejection.

Guess this is an authorized version
 

Maybe I need a bigger screen. I thought B1 hit the ball.

He hits his nuts??? Ok, that's a see-ya.....
