Anyone see the elbow by Allen Flanigan from Ole Miss?

This is the second or third time I’ve seen a video of someone throwing a deliberate elbow. This needs to be cleaned up asap, and should be a lengthy suspension.
 
Wow - this guy should be arrested for assault - literally. NOTHING about that was what SHOULD BE basketball.

Tolerate this crap and you will get more of it... the Draymond Green effect. Good player - but has to play dirty for any sort of edge. Trash sportsmanship.

Former Auburn Tiger... just saying.
 
That’s totally unacceptable. I don’t know what’s going on, but this stuff has to stop. Increase the length of suspensions. Maybe suspend the coach for a game - that would fix the problem pretty damn quick.

Nothing was going on. The refs even went back to the monitor to check that as well. Our guy didn’t even appear to be looking at Flanigan or talking to him.

Look at this moron's response lol. Some people try too hard. It gets even worse in the comments.


I don’t think she’s a moron at all. I’m not excusing the elbow, but USC has been allowed to grab, push and hand check all season long. It’s bizarre how physical they are allowed to play compared to everyone else.

And Auburn, Bama, Tamu, Miss St, etc. do not? Ole Miss was getting away with murder and it was the first time all year I have seen our coach on the refs. I wish he would do it more. They were calling slight hand checks and phantom fouls.
But hey, in true societal fashion, it could not be Flanigan’s bad behavior….must have been someone else’s fault. Poor guy.

I played against a few guys that would love to throw bows. Would do it several times a game and hardly ever get caught. After 3 match ups against one player I had a mouse under my right eye 1 minute into the game. I waited and we started trapping and running and once I had a great sweat rolling, I came down the court, ran towards the chest of the player that threw the bow to me and a step and a half away faked a charlie horse and jumped crown of head first to his chin, rolled on the floor and got help from our trainer. Guy had 4 stiches on his chin and was extremely sore. He never threw a bow at my team after that. And for all that was involved I just had a charlie horse.
 
That's really bad. He can't claim it was unintentional. That's the first time I've seen this. He definitely should have been thrown out, and he was. I'm thinking something more should happen, though, but the SEC isn't punishing him any further. I would guess, if a UK player did this same thing, the punishment would be much more severe from the league.

They don’t punish because they have been trying hard for a few years to build the SEC as a “physical” league. It’s one of the reasons I think the SEC does so poorly in the NCAAT - refs don’t fall for it or allow that kind of crap.

I watched several UT games in December (out of conference games) where the announcers were astonished at the physical play of UT- the # of fouls called against UT and the corresponding free throws were a major factor in their loss...

The SEC allowing this "Big East" style of play will result in our teams flaming out in the NCAAT much like the old Big East teams did. The league needs to call the game like the rest of the country.

The Big East steadily had teams in the Elite 8 if not the Final Four.
 
There is no way this should have been let go, if it were a Kentucky player throwing the elbow, there would have been a big response from the league. One offense like that should be a 10 game suspension, the second one and your season is done, if they want to stop it.

They'd make us forfeit the season. Maybe even next year too...

How nothing is being done about that is beyond ridiculous.

A Bama player was suspended for your game for throwing an intentional elbow against UF last week. I guess cause it happened to us, the SEC could care less. Flanigan could have easily broke Someone’s jaw or worse. Play on boys.

Its a money thing…..sec thinks ole piss still has a tourney shot.
