How is that not a flagrant?
Seriously. We are gonna call that a flagrant?
Contact with a man's head while he's in the air? Yeah, I'd call that a flagrant.
Given calls I've seen as flagrants this year, including yes anything to the head basically, it should have been.
Again guys there needs to be some intent, not only was intent lacking but he made a play for the block meaning its not a flagrant. It was a foul tho, that the refs missed.
"Flagrant foul. In basketball, a flagrant foul is a personal foul that involves excessive or violent contact that could injure the fouled player. A flagrant foul may be unintentional or purposeful; the latter type is also called an "intentional foul" in the NBA."
Exactly. Intent is not a definition of it.
Al got one early in the year when a guard was on the switch, so when he did a drop step and swung his elbow it was at the guard's head. They called it. He wasn't even looking so it wasn't intentional. That's not part of that rule.
Ya, and that shouldn't of been a flagrant. Neither should that on Morris. Contact was made, but it wasn't excessive. Granted the play result in injury but that was more because Morris was off balance hanging on the rim. It was unfortunate. Not a flagrant.
