Kid intentionally trips ref. Not sure what how the Association will respond but this is not cool:

 
Give me a break. You can obviously tell by his post-foul hand waving that this was unintentional. G-D refs trying to make it all about them...
 
He looked up at the ref right before he stuck his leg out. If not for the camera angle he might have been able to argue that it was not intentional, pretty stupid. I wonder how long the suspension will be.

What in that post suggests sarcasm? I mean, seriously? To signal sarcasm on the internet there needs to be something more than just a standard, run of the mill, Boneyard contrarianism. Am I supposed to read your entire oeuvre to know that you wouldn't say this? You don't think someone on the Boneyard would?

There's literally nothing obvious about that sarcasm.

It wasn't obvious by saying that I was using his hand-waving to judge that he didn't do it? Don't double down.

No. Isn't that exactly what someone who is surprised by a call would be? Wouldn't the obvious "he definitely meant to do it" be that he looked dejected and upset at himself? You don't think people on this board have used a player's reaction to judge their intent?

I would consider myself a good reader. It's more or less what I do with my life. Even knowing that you meant it as sarcasm, I read that post and am confused. The only thing, in retrospect, that leads me to believe it is sarcasm is the ellipses at the end of the line.

I'm not trying to be a pain here; you jumped down my throat--and other's--for not recognizing what doesn't look like sarcasm as sarcasm.

even better with the opening comment a picture of a digitized upside down smiley face (today's version of OUT OF ORDER)...
no idea what people are speaking about.

Sarcasm is, to humor, like oil paints are to painting. It is meant to be applied delicately and with fine strokes.
When you a glob on a canvas and then smear it around with your butt cheeks, as you did, you cannot be surprised when it is not immediately recognized as sarcasm.
 
On a serious note - lifetime ban for the kid.
If he had done it to another player, I'd say full season suspension. But to a ref? Goodbye and goodluck -go have some jalapeno mac and cheese.
 
After reading this thread I am no longer pissed at Reed.

Wait so mine wasn't apparent enough that it was sarcasm so I should have made it subtle? I'm guessing that given this flew over so many a head, that would be even worse. I've underestimated this board. We've obviously had too many stupid actual opinions that it's created a no-sarcasm zone. Must have misread that one.

To me, this: "You can obviously tell by his post-foul hand waving that this was unintentional" is what signaled sarcasm

Sure, you never know when reading if someone is sarcastic, but for a basketball fan to say, "clearly he didn't mean to do it, look at how he waved his arms and complained after he was called", a fellow basketball fan should assume sarcasm, since they should also be aware that just about every time a foul is called, the perpetrator complains.

A bit much dont you think? Rest of the season would suffice.
 
After seeing those two Texas kids blindside a ref, I doubt I'll be surprised by anything anymore.
 
How about the balls on this kid?

He's gone from school if that's real. Account deleted? Brand new account? https://twitter.com/JarmalReid?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

4 game suspension minimum just handed down to the kid, sounds to me like he's done.

REID SUSPENDED 4 GAMES FOR TRIPPING REF
Jarmal Reid was suspended a minimum of four games by Oregon State after he was ejected Sunday. "Jarmal's conduct and attitude in the next two weeks will determine whether any further action is warranted," coach Wayne Tinkle said.
