Unsportsmanlike conduct? what do you think

[NNDman]

Hopefully I know what I'm doing so everyone can witness this. On face value it doesn't look like it to me. Of course we can't hear if anything was said to result in such a penalty being called. Happened in today's Class 5 semifinal in Virginia:

Yeah, I'm not getting into refbashing mode based on that. That's like trying to make a call looking at a still photo. I need context. If the official threw it, I'm going with him.

Have to agree here.  No real context to what was potentially being said while player was looking down at defender.  Official was very close and may well have heard verbalized what resulted in the flag being thrown.  Without more info, no issue with this call.

Trusting each other is one of our important strengths.

Assuming the runner said nothing, this is not a spike and should not be a foul.

IMHO, we are paid to see fouls and HEAR fouls.    We don't see a foul and we can't hear what the official may have heard , I give my vote to the  .

Assume and assuming are not words in our rulebook.

I completely agree with Ralph

Nothing seen in the video is UNS.

We don’t know if the player said anything or also we don’t know how many times the player had a talk too by officials in the contest.

The one thing to take into consideration, especially this time of year, is did the player "earn" the foul.  I get to work this weekend and I'd like to think its because of all my hard work and dedication.  Add my time up and I don't even come within a hundreth of the time the players and coaches have put in.  I always try to remember that when I take the field...  Great throw, great catch, good run after catch vs bad defense.  It should take a whole lot more to reward team B for not doing their job.

Based solely on the small clip… I got nothing, no foul

Exactly - This post is lower than   

Some jack wagon on the web recorded this with his new cell phone off the TV and then makes his assumption of what he "thinks" might have happened?
For all we know if there was a flag it may have been for an illegal shift or 12 on the defense?  And half the video is watching the flight of the ball?
sorry but nothing at all to comment on here, nothing at all.

Agree with previous posts.  Since most USC's are more verbal than anything, and most follow one or more prior warnings, I also find a "silent movie" 0% informative or constructive to use as the basis for commenting on the call.
