Message: [QUOTE="longislandcuse, post: 1342557, member: 937"] I'm so sick of seeing players ejected and 4-5 point swings due to Flagrant 1's and 2's. it's a contact sport, not golf. Tempers flare and things get physical. Refs and the rules committee need to stop taking all emotion out of the sport. In a game earlier a guy on a fast break put his arm out to shield off a defender on the fast break. Cut him under the eye. Refs looked at it and called a Flagrant 1. It's an offensive foul, not every hard play has to be a flagrant. Ohio State gets 2 shots and the ball, later go on to win in OT. Just now a player on Cinci boxes out and elbows to the throat. Flagrant 2!? No, that's a Flagrant 1. Kid shouldn't be ejected for an over aggressive move. So sick of the, I'll say it gently, "wimpification" of this sport. These refs must have a heart attack watching pick up ball at the park. No blood, no foul. [/QUOTE]
