When Flanagin for Ole Miss, for no reason away from the ball, throws a viscous elbow on purpose to try and split Zach’s face open with great bodily harm intent, and there’s no real coverage or discipline by the league. He lost 16 minutes of action.

The girls…..two people shove another person, benches step out to see what’s happening, no one else shoves or throws a punch or even gets close to another player from those benches…….and it’s described as a “bench clearing brawl.” That altercation stopped as quickly as it started. The rule is the rule, so the ejections were just by the letter of such rule, but when you say 9 players were ejected in a bench clearing brawl, it just sounds more juicy. Other boards run with it with no knowledge of what happened.

Flanagin gets a pass. I even wrote the SEC about Flanagin’s actions. No place for this and it was dangerous as hell. They wrote back and said they appreciated my concern and the referees handled all the punishment in that situation. You gotta 😆

Is the SEC office saying they have no governance over the officials, and they agree that it was handled correctly?
Sounds more like a no stance response and a deliberate choice to not criticize clear violent behavior on the court.

I could be wrong, but I believe the bball officials are governed by the NCAA, not the conferences like football.

Nope…. they suspended an Alabama player for one game the week before for a much less violent elbow against the Florida player. Both incidents happened less than seven days apart. The Alabama player could not play against Kentucky. They informed me no further action would be taken, and that they felt the officials dealt with the incident during the game appropriately. it’s comical compared to the shove her around the world
