Video of flagrant foul no-calls at basketball game goes viral

Looks like the plump daddies from the hometeam can't play ball so they throw around their weight - literally. The truly sad thing about their behavior is the parents of these attackers did nothing - guess you know where the kids learned it. The Connell team stinks and their sportsmanship is non-existent. Their basketball team would make a better football team!

I hope Mr. Garza's 7 year old doesn't learn to play from his friend or his dad. I think the smiles on that players' face speaks volumes.

I don't know what some of you are seeing but that kid, "teddy bear" or not, is a thug on the court and should be off of the team. If you watch the kid's face and movements after each foul, you can see his actions are deliberate and meant to intimidate and/or cause harm. Is that what coaches are teaching kids to do when they aren't good at the sport but are big enough to intimidate? Allowing kids to participate violently and flagrantly in sports then getting "support" from the adults that are supposed to be teaching them sportsmanship is why we are seeing more and more injuries, serious injuries, and deaths, especially in football.

the refs should of warned the players after the 1st foul he got no ball and all body just swinging around. The push should of been a technical after the warning that they should of had, player had no shot for the ball, it is a flagrant foul, foul number 5 should of been a technical, and a ejection. some of the fouls happen and you cant stop them but i would like to see the whole game to see what really happened throughout.

i'm a Asian guy and never play a basket ball. But i like to play againt
#34. I bet 5 minutes into a game he wil hold his balls and cry!

This is just as much the ref's and coach's fault. The ref for not getting control of the game, and the coach for not teaching fundamentals.

The first 2 fouls are nothing more than fouls. The first committed by #34, second by #42.

Foul #3 is a hard foul, BUT the ball handler did stop short in the middle of his "move". Had the coach taught good fundamentals, #34 could have held his ground and drawn a charge.

Foul #4, flagrant foul, should have been a technical. Was #42.

Foul #5, and absolute flagrant foul. No holding, no lack of athleticism, just a clothes-line by a kid who needs to be benched.

Foul #6 is just a typical over the back foul. But the ref missed a call that he could have made at the foul line when #34 hacked the ball handler.

#34 eats a lot of aggression..... and a lot of pizzas.

I'm almost at a loss for words. The fouls that were shown on this clip were ALL flagrant fouls. Where was the perpetrator's coach in all this?? Is that the kind of basketball he teaches? And, the one ref was SMILING at the kid who almost flipped the other kid on his head. Vanderbilt should be kicked off the team and prosecuted for assault. There is NO ROOM in high school sports for that kind of nonsense.

Who teaches these kids to play like this ? Both coaches are at fault, the first for teaching his kids to act like animals, the second for not walking off and away from the court. If you want to wrestle, joint the wrestling team. Pathetic, our children deserve better. Both Coaches show no leadership skills here, and I hate to point out the obviouse but where are the parents ? I would have dragged my kid off that court if I saw him perform with such lack of respect for the game and fellow players.

Fire the refs and bench fat boy!

That guy should be benched for the season. Clothes lining a player on the court is totally unacceptable not to mention pile driving another. That was not just a flagrant foul but borderline criminal assault. I can't believe he wasn't ejected for any of those fouls.

Call to complain - Tim Peterson. Principal at Connell High. (509) 234-2911

Those two kids MUST be thrown off that team, and the coach fired immediately.

Everyone call tomorrow and make this school set a good example!

Number 34 should have some professional therapy before he becomes the serial killer he seems destined to be. No care or regard for how he fouls the other players.

man i wish i was playin in that basketball game so i can also make my own fouls on #34!

Hope someone beats the Chit out of that pos fat boy Punk !

Connell does not have a basketball team ... nope, it is a group of pretenders. VERY obvious as to who was more talented and skilled. I had to play against a few thugs like that in my day and they eventually got theirs. I blaim the "coach" more than anybody. These kids have issues and their coach is condoning it

the coach is responsible for the actions of this player. he should be fired. the player
should be removed from the team permanently.

HOW DID FAT BOY EVEN MAKE THE TEAM IN THE FIRST PLACE.. WHAT A FAT P.O.S. LOSER...

#4 and #5 are definitely flagrant. The others are just hard fouls cause by like of talent by number 34. He sucks, is fat, and can't jump. The refs should have warned the other team and number 34.

why would any school/coah support such behavior.Blame the adults.
