Review a few points (long)


Just a week ago, a FL player was ejected for throwing a double elbow to the head of an opponent. If you honestly think that the officials didn't give both teams/coaches their first warning before the game, you have never played at a competitive level. This isn't the first week of the season, it isn't the first month of the season it is the Tourney. Taunting, flipping the ball at players or officials is going to be an auto T.

The FL scouting report obviously said that we have trouble with the press. In the 1H Alleyne tried to bring the ball up and as soon as he crossed half stopped his dribble and as to FL players converged he panicked and traveled. Later he was trying to get the ball over half between two FL players and went behind his back and lost control of the ball. Then on the T call, again he brings up the ball and as soon as he crosses the half stops his dribble and get pitched by two players in the corner. Luckily for us he was fouled because he was going to turn the ball over again. I'm sure he was frustrated and probably mad as himself because he isn't good a breaking a press... he could of handed the ball to the official that was four feet in front of him, he could have just dropped it, He decided to flip the ball in the one direction that their was an opponent and into the stomach of that opponent. Bad choice and he hurt his team with his choice.

I've watched a bunch of these games now and have yet to see another player flip the ball at an opponent.. and none of them have been called for a T. Anecdotally, if you are going to flip the ball at an opponent after the whistle you are going to get a T'd up.
