Yep. Punks like Wayne Mckinney are looking to get a reaction.

He tried the same at the end of the game with Barcello but Barcello just pointed at the scoreboard (or foul line depending on how you saw it) and walked away.

Wait, that is what everyone was talking about?

It was pretty mild. Atiki probably deserved a technical, but not an ejection.

Indy Coug

1/21/22 3:19pm

No I watched it. He should have been ejected.

SouthernBlueBlood

1/21/22 3:20pm

We all just watched it. It should be a T, but ejection probably right under

Plato

As soon as I watched replay I knew he was gone. He earned it. Thems the rules.

dave

By the rule, I agree. It is a learning experience for Atiki.

rockyrd

Because basketball is so soft

YIsForBrigham

Ejection was unwarranted, no contest.

Mitty

1/21/22 3:43pm

Should have been ejected. No doubt. You can't deliver a forearm to the face and

LifeLongLakerFan

Maybe if he shoved him lower

JAK

1/21/22 6:32pm

It all looks pretty natural to me. I don't even think Atiki was going for the head, just happened to be taller.

mokelembembe

1/21/22 3:20pm

Not sure about "natural" but agreed he was just going for a pretty harmless

Trent

1/21/22 3:26pm

If those guys were the same height, would've been nothing.

Mitty

1/21/22 3:44pm

With great power comes great responsibility ... he clocked him in the head

runnincoug

1/21/22 4:18pm

I thought there was a different angle that looked worse, but yeah. He was taller

fbguru

1/21/22 3:26pm

No it doesn’t. But he’s young- so I’m not upset. He just needs to control his

And our punk was gracious to deliver. He's a keeper.

SinkingQuffa

Going after No. 3 like that was ridiculous and dumb by Atiki.

Ham

1/21/22 3:20pm

He was justified in thinking the kid ran after him

Coop

1/21/22 3:22pm

I'm not sure what the USD player intended, but I think a reasonable interpretation for Atiki in the heat

Indy Coug

1/21/22 3:24pm

Agree not to use forearm, but the other player actually ran towards him.

Blue for Life

1/21/22 3:23pm

3 was mugging Barcelo all game...pushing shoving etc... Should have fouled out.

sfeuz

1/21/22 3:37pm

Yes, 3 was a punk the entire night. I support atiki all the way

And, he didn't go after him, so...

Mitty

Love the passion, need to control the anger.

BYUtka

The forearm shiver: an 8.6

SinkingQuffa

1/21/22 3:24pm

What was the optimal outcome by #3 here?

RSwanson

1/21/22 3:26pm

He got the optimal. They got to shoot a FT and Atiki got kicked out.

bluesloth

1/21/22 3:32pm

He scored 4 points off that. 2 FTs and than a layup on that play after.

sfeuz

1/21/22 3:39pm

Plus we lost the ball

Vegasjohn

1/21/22 4:04pm

I didn't think it was that bad but the ejection is per the rule. He could have

pinolero

The people who say it wasn't a flagrant 2 don't understand the rules

downtownchrisbrown

1/21/22 7:28pm

First time I’ve seen it. The SD guy got up off the floor and came at Atiki.

Brigham

1/21/22 3:31pm

That's what I see as well. Angled his head and body in a direction he didn't

Mitty

1/21/22 3:46pm

I wouldn't characterize it that way. I don't see any intent to engage Atiki, ...

CougaReb

1/21/22 4:30pm

That’s interesting you see it that way

epcoug

I love the fight! I’d rather see the occasional ejection than watch our guys…

Zastava

1/21/22 3:31pm

Atiki deserved to be ejected but the San Diego player got up went right towards

Oldcougfan

1/21/22 3:32pm

Nope. Double techs and that is it. Ejection is weak. No punch. Nothing close. Forearm to keep the kid away.

Turnpike Lane

1/21/22 3:38pm

This... should have been. I was surprised #3 got away with it.

sfeuz

1/21/22 3:46pm

It was at his face, though. Forearms are a closed fist in my book.

SinkingQuffa

1/21/22 3:52pm

Watching that tells me a few things:

stenso

1/21/22 3:35pm

Agree, I see absolutely no reason for concern here. Freshman moment with the

Mitty

1/21/22 3:48pm

Those are kind of my takeaways too.

Eddie

1/21/22 3:49pm

So the SD player comes at him, of course you'll be ready with a forearm

Samuel Hall Society

1/21/22 4:14pm

I think you described that perfectly.

YSMACK

1/21/22 4:35pm

By rule, he absolutely deserved the ejection

BlueTemplar

1/21/22 5:27pm

Pretty weak for ejection. Refs suck

BYU4eVeR

1/21/22 4:25pm

Yup, refs should have taken control earlier. I blame it on them.

sfeuz

1/21/22 4:57pm

I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out

calbearcoug

1/21/22 5:27pm

Looked like self defense to me. The San Diego player was coming after him.

pittsburghcoug

1/21/22 5:57pm

They both moved toward each other. Neither man retreated.

charles

1/21/22 6:30pm

Meh, flagrant and move on with game
