When I hear the word "flagrant", I'm thinking something egregious happened, like Thomas' clothesline on Reese last season. What Clark did wasn't close, but it also wasn't a genuine play on the ball either. It's a technical foul but it shouldn't be classified as flagrant, especially because flagrants trigger suspensions faster than technical fouls. Unsportsmanlike/unnecessary, I'm good with, similar to when a player gets heated with an official. I recall Lobo saying that there will be an emphasis on freedom of movement this season. Regardless of flagrant fouls, I'm taking that to mean we're going to hear a lot of whistles regardless of what happened in that game. [/QUOTE]
