It is possible for the NCAA, conference, or school to review any incident for further action, but unlikely to occur except in fight situations. While it was really dangerous, especially given Gabby's medical history, I didn't think it was particularly malicious. Gabby's foot was up around the girl's midsection, not a typical situation, and she lifted and pushed it away - sort of a get this 'thing' out of here kind of move.Are flangrant foul videos reviewed post-game for any further disciplinary action? #3 of LSU might well have ruined Gabby Williams entire athletic future with that move.
She did it violently as well. It did not appear to me like she was simply trying to get untangled. I said at the time what does it take to get a flagrant 2? I guess you have to get Barncastle'd. And the refs weren't going to call any foul until Geno talked to the refs on his way off the floor.I thought she should have been ejected. That wasn't pushing someone away, that was twisting and slamming to the floor.... IMO.
That was the most surprising part... if Geno hadn't said anything the refs weren't calling anything.She did it violently as well. It did not appear to me like she was simply trying to get untangled.

Exactly. A "fragrant " non call by the refs!She did it violently as well. It did not appear to me like she was simply trying to get untangled.

It wasn't simple entanglement. All the player had to do was release the leg her arms were wrapped around but she was lifting it and tossed Gabby.I wouldn't have been upset if the kid got ejected, but I think that some of y'all are being a little harsh. What she did was not ok, but it's sometimes to play physically aggressive (bumping cutters, etc.) and then turn that switch off when you (inadvertantly) find yourself tangled up with the other player. And yes, this move could have possibly ended Gabby Williams' career, but historically, that's more likely to happen with an ACL tear on a play with no contact than a result of a player being too aggressive.
A foul was called on UConn though it wasn't a technical foul, but LSU had to shoot their FTs. I think the foul against UConn was the reason for the stoppage in the first place.I don't understand why it ended a double technical fouls? I saw LSU also had a 2 FT. Can anyone explain to me?

It was not a double technical foul. UCONN was called for a regular foul on the play which was it's 5th of the Quarter resulting in two foul shots for LSU. The video review determined that the LSU player committed a Technical foul "Flagrant" on Gabby. Since UCONN was going to get possession as a result of the LSU's Technical there was not a live ball situation-no need to have players on the line while LSU shot. The foul shots are taken in the sequence that the fouls happened and none of 4 Foul shots were live-meaning that if a player missed the FT a rebound would not be contested.I don't understand why it ended a double technical fouls? I saw LSU also had a 2 FT. Can anyone explain to me?
After looking several times in slo-mo I think the initial lifting/grabbing of Gabby's leg was not intentional. It looked to me like the LSU player was going up for the rebound, Gabby's leg got in front of her, and she inadvertently hooked the leg on the way up and continued up. The twisting and throwing was in frustration, but I don't think it was in any way a flagrant 2. She was frustrated that a leg in her face prevented her from competing for the rebound. Though not intentional, Gabby was complicit - I mean you're really not supposed to box out with a high leg....?So I guess the analysis is:
a) was the lifting/grabbing her leg unnecessary?
b) was it excessive?
Answer one of the two questions yes and you've got a Flagrant 1.
Answer both of the two questions yes and you've got a Flagrant 2.
Under that test it sure looks like Flagrant 2 to me.
A couple of things:After looking several times in slo-mo I think the initial lifting/grabbing of Gabby's leg was not intentional.

The precedent is when you're frustrated take a cheap shot at the team that has had the biggest target on its back for years and hope the ref is looking the other way.She threw Gabby to the floor like cheap trash. But I hope this doesn't set a precedent.
I pray that's not true but you may be right. There's still a lot of season leaving these telanted players very exposed to distaster.The precedent is when you're frustrated take a cheap shot at the team that has had the biggest target on its back for years and hope the ref is looking the other way.
