re: Not sure how someone can defend this: (basketball fouls)

Only one that I would call Flagrant was #5. Sure the other fouls were hard and deserved to be called, but the uploader is a pussy for labeling them Flagrant.

It doesn't have to be malicious to be flagrant. He's obviously not making a play on the ball.

Lucky he wasn't playing against any black kids.

Exactly what I hinted at earlier. They would beat his arse and rightfully so.

Like ATL said, this would result in brawls in many leagues.

#5 was especially shitty, and he should have been tossed.

The rest? Uncoordinated fatasses playing basketball. None of it was terribly egregious (aside from #5, obviously...) The refs called the fouls, what more do you want? You want them to call the cops? GTFO.

Fatass will get his comeuppance at some point, I'm sure.

Want the refs to toss him or the coach to pull him. No place for that in High School basketball

You GTFO. That's not basketball, and i don't even like basketball. I do know enough to know that doesn't belong in the game.

The refs should have ejected him or coach should have sat him. He wasn't even going for the ball for crying out loud.

There's a reason this kid plays this way (well, a primary reason among many reasons, at least).

And there's a reason why his coach has him on the floor considering the way he plays.

one of them "might" have deserved a flagrant fould. it was just strong men making hard fouls.

these referees could have set the tone after the second foul by t-ing someone up. i would told my squad to start puting knees in crotches and elbows in mouths. mfers would have needed to go to the dentist since they want to play hostile.

gotten into it plenty of times just for taken my space with my pivot and elbows out. people have went to the dentist.

Nah, he's a Teddy bear right?


In all seriousness I would've made sure to 'bow him in the nose.

I’ve played & coached basketball and have refereed as well; even a little on the college level. Here’s my take on the six fouls.

#1 was not flagrant, but was a hard foul, but I don’t see it as a flagrant foul.
#2 was not even close to being flagrant.
#3 was not flagrant, but again a hard foul due to sloppy defense on a good fake by the offensive player. (After this foul, which was the second hard foul by number #34, the officials should have given him and his coach a warning about his rough play. I didn’t see that.)
#4 was definitely an intentional foul, but not to the point of being called flagrant.
#5 was definitely flagrant and the player should be ejected from the game.
#6 was not flagrant, but again, just weak defensive skill. #34 shouldn’t have been allowed back in the game.


My impression from watching this video is that the white team is not coached very well and definitely has not been taught much at all on playing defense. Lazy

If #34 is all the coach has to put on the floor, he must be in bad shape.
