+1000. The penalty is for taking care of the current business. We don't/shouldn't care about the future ramifications of our actions related to penalizing by rule someone else's actions. Had my first flagrant personal foul DQ a few weeks ago where the two bigs were fighting in the paint to get position on a rebound. One started to lose his balance and he grabbed the other guy by the neck and pretty much pile drove him into the floor and landed on his head. My partner thought we should have just gone with an intentional because now the kid had to sit out the next game (this was JV and he was a starter for the V game the same evening.) I am glad I didn't take into account the "sit the next game" penalty as I still feel like the flagrant was warranted.

A Varsity starter playing in the preceding JV game?? Seems strange...not done around here. Perhaps good coaching on the JV's part for instigating??

Yeah, many of the small schools only add 2-4 players per level. Ie: Sophomore roster has 8 players, those 8 also dress JV with 3 more juniors, and all of them dress varsity with he addition of 2-3 more seniors.

There was no instigation by the other team, at least in my opinion. I have no reason to believe that that was happening in this game nor have I seen it in other games. However, never really thought about that before. This could be something that could happen to get someone out of a varsity game. i will watch for this more in the future.
