This was one way to put it.
However, one play by Brown midway through the fourth quarter had fans wondering why refs didn't call him for a flagrant foul. The Celtics star hit the Pacers' T.J. McConnell square in the face, sending the guard crashing to the ground. The refs reviewed the play and then made this weirdly-phrased ruling:
“The contact, although unfortunate, does not rise to the level of flagrant foul penalty 1,” referee Zach Zarba said to the crowd.“The contact, although unfortunate, does not rise to the level of flagrant foul penalty 1.” This not being called a flagrant is legit blasphemy. Not sure how any ref can say that this is “unfortunate” when it hits so many criteria for flagrant fouls. NBA is gross rn.Angel Hernandez retires today and NBA officials decide “y’all thought he was bad? watch this.” Calling this an “unfortunate common foul” and not even a flagrant 1 is absolutely insane.Zach Zarba just said the contact "although unfortunate" is not a flagrant. That's gotta be a new one.
