If it isn't youtube, it's facebook

The "investigation" is being done by the offending players A.D. I don't think it is just because of this one instant,but rather a pattern of behavoir on the player.

According to comments off the facebook posting of the video, the one team was continually pulling stuff like the video showed all throughout the game (playing off the ball & causing excessive contact).

Well, if that team's fans said that on facebook, it just has to be true.

I have called IF on this type of play before. Ideally the "C" would have had a great angle to see this play.

True. Hard to tell if the official opposite the video was T or C. Not enough time to really see if the L came across the lane late and a rotation was not able to be completed or not. There were 3 on that game.

Not always are postings on Facebook to be believed, even if majority of the comments on the video are basically a conversation between parties. Like everyone on here knows, not everyone that goes to a basketball game fully understands the rules.

I'm with JR.... I think if it's on the facebook, it is true.

eagle has a point....not everyone who attends a game fully knows the rules....even when they are clearly outlined on the forum....

btw The coach pulled the player right after and he did not return.

+1 If it wasn't true, they wouldn't have said it.

they might have said it, but the facebook ap is very good at finding and correcting errors. I'm sure it would have been corrected.

I did find out from facebook that the work "gullible" is kind of like the word "irregardless" -- it's not a real word and not in the dictionary.

Isn't everything on the internet factual? There must be some cyberspace super-editor that does all the fact checking? Maybe Al Gore? Right?

I know the first rule is factual. Not sure about anything else.😃

Varsity Insider Rice’s Tipson suspended for regular-season finale

grunewar

"A Facebook video clip of the foul, which was posted in the comments section of a Varsity Insider blog post, spurred a online debate. Tullar, who was grabbing a defensive rebound, was sent crashing to the floor on his backside after Tipson fouled Tullar from behind."

I mean, we're not mentioned by name or anything, but......we are debating!

Clear evidence that a flagrant foul is supported. IIRC, that team had other flagitious fouls during that game. At some point, you have to up the ante for these fouls.
