It is one thing to have an elbow hit a head, but it is different if the ball hits someone in the head.

This is also such a rare play anyway. I just did not like the way the officials decided this either.

Peace

I believe the player's history for stirring up sh!t in games played into the decision.

So he is a dirty player? Or he has a history of being dirty?

If that is the case, I do understand the reaction.

He was suspended earlier in the year for a fight....including contact with an official:

I'm a life-long Louisville fan, and I get tired of his antics.

I forgot about this situation.

I clearly understand now.

So you can whip a ball in midair at an opponents private parts and it is just an OOB, but if you hit him in the face it is a technical( if the rule is applied correctly)?

What's the difference.

It's not that black and white. If I think he aimed for the junk, he's at least getting a T.

B1 was standing OOB. I see nothing wrong with the play....UNLESS, A1 was throwing the ball with the intent to harm or injure B1 in an unsporting manner. And that is all subjective on the official's part.
