My understanding of the Baker Flagrant 2 Ejection

Incidental but not accidental is a distinction without a difference

You meant to strike out--just didn't mean to hit the guy where he got hit

Right, your first line describes an accident

You're still responsible under the law in my gun example.

Using your analogy, the defender stepped in front of the gun. Truth.

Correct. It works that way, too.

I hate the imbedded response by Gene Steratore

yep, the problem with the whole premise is that it was non-incidental

I think he's saying that by the wording of the rule, they were kinda hamstrung and had to call it

Agree to disagree. Blaming a poorly written rule (which it is) for tossing some

The refs had a chance to right a wrong they made earlier in the game with Mag's dumb technical they called earlier..

I think the call on the Wisconsin bench was the makeup for Mag.

Ah ok. I'm not really remembering that one but I'll take your word for it.

The problem is that it was "clearly accidental". So the whole they had no choice but to call a

I agree. The standard is absurd

It seems poorly written, but to me it was clearly accidental.

And yet far more examples of forcible contact to the head and neck are re not deemed to be targeting

JT Toppin was ejected from the Texas Tech-Houston game for the same reason.

Guilty until proven innocent.

The defender clearly knew the rule and got his junk in position

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

Let me help. It was clearly accidental. The standard is dumb, but it was clearly accidental. Play on. Ref got it wrong.

The rule was written for intentional nut shots like when a player swings his arm

westsidecoug

Mar 24, 12:12pm

I'll bet that is why the rule was written.

Eddie

A good ref says he is making a basketball play (splitting an aggressive trap)

Still Blue

Mar 24, 12:13pm

Poorly written rule and consequence. Also, could have been deemed accidental,

Captain Stubing

Mar 24, 12:25pm

By this interpretation, nothing can be accidental

m1k3l33

Mar 24, 12:42pm

I think that's why it's such a poorly written rule

Skeptical Optimist

It was interesting to read that Wisconsin had a player ejected earlier this...

Eddie

That would explain the UW player sticking his groin out w/ his hands behind him.

Traore was hit in the face which should have been a flagrant 1. Our review guys missed that.

If that’s the rule you shouldn’t be able to trap

Do refs see slow motion of plays on the review? If this video was regular speed

Rolling around, writhing in pain — was that NOT "clearly accidental" too refs??

It was clearly accidental. Didn’t even look at him and made a bball play
