Penn State's D.J. Newbill Ejected For Shoving Kendrick Nunn In Neck

I don't work basketball but maybe the crew decided the UI player ran into the PSU player accidentally, so he didn't get penalized.

Seeing the endline replay, the Illini player definitely instigated the situation. I don't if the ruled the PSU's players action a fight, or just an FF2.

If he just got an FF2, I would have gave the Illini player Class A Technical as well. If the PSU player got ejected for fighting, then the Illini player should have went also for his dead ball contact instigating a fight.

That's my opinion based on what I saw in the replay.

They both should have been tossed for fighting. Once the PSU player retaliates by throwing a punch, the situation became a fight. The UI player's actions caused the fight to occur, so he should have been tossed as well.

Don't believe that a Class A technical foul is appropriate for the contact by the Illinois player as the ball has clearly become live during the throw-in.

There was a whistle for a 30-second time-out after the made basket. You can see an Illini A/C indicate to the rest of the staff that PSU was taking a 30. Listen closely and you will hear that whistle a split second before the initial contact. In fact, notice how the PSU player responsible for throw-in initially steps as if he is going to come on to the court.

After viewing the endline angle, both of them go.

Both are ejected in my book. End line view said it all.

Peace

Initial bump was definitely not an accidents when viewed from the end line. Both are gone.
