Re: Basketbrawl
Just seen the video. Nice "coward punch" from the aussie to start it.
EDIT: Just seen another angle, probably say the phillipino elbow started it but that aussie bloke is surely looking at a long ban.

Re: Basketbrawl
Think there will be quite a few bans but for how long I wonder? Haven't seen anything similar to compare it with in this sport.God is an Englishman wrote:Just seen the video. Nice "coward punch" from the aussie to start it.

Re: Basketbrawl
The first aussie to throw the punch is surely looking at the longest ban, then the phillipino who dropped the elbow. After that, it would seem they're all much of a muchness.

The aussie players looked scared though and very quick to run away. That will save them a few weeks/months.
As you said though, I don't know either what's a normal ban for that in basketball.

Re: Basketbrawl
Word is that the crowd (inside and outside) were ready to pounce on them as well, so can understand some fear purely based on numbers. That said, it's hardly a "macho" sport but I wouldn't want to mess with someone like Lebron James if it were on for young and old.God is an Englishman wrote:The first aussie to throw the punch is surely looking at the longest ban, then the phillipino who dropped the elbow.

It's actually a lot more contact than you think with the screening and blocking that occurs.Bomber wrote:Word is that the crowd (inside and outside) were ready to pounce on them as well, so can understand some fear purely based on numbers.

Re: Basketbrawl
Yet it's meant to be a "non-contact" sport. Played it a few times as a youngster (only as I was taller than most at same age and got talked into it) but got frustrated at all the fouls I gave away, so it was short lived.God is an Englishman wrote:It's actually a lot more contact than you think with the screening and blocking that occurs.Bomber wrote:Word is that the crowd (inside and outside) were ready to pounce on them as well, so can understand some fear purely based on numbers.
