The following URL shows a few plays of a recent high school basketball game where, according to the video, numerous flagrant fouls went uncalled as such but rather personal fouls. The video was posted by a spectator and has since gone viral.

Who is the DB in this case?

EDIT: I don't even see some of those examples as being "flagrant". Just hard fouls.

#5 definitely was flagrant
#3 possibly was

The rest were called correctly and looked worse than they really were. That #42 could use to jump now and then.

The kid is wearing army boots and swatting at people like a foreigner attempting to high five for the first time.

And he's smirking after most of the plays.


I have to admit at getting a kick out of the fact that when they finally took him out, they subbed in an even bigger kid

The team in the maroon jerseys look like a bunch of pansies for not getting into the kids face or at least fouling him back. If they did, its not in that video.

Turns out the maroon team lost the game by 1 point despite being fouled that often.

Sounds to me like somebody needs to work on their free throws.

FLAGRANT FOUL: WIAA releases statement about Connell video
By Craig Craker, Herald staff writer
Craig Craker, Herald staff writer Tri-City Herald

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association released a statement Thursday afternoon about the video of a Highland-Connell basketball game featuring multiple hard fouls.

The statement reads:
"WIAA statement concerning the Connell-Highland Basketball game that was played on Dec. 22nd:
The WIAA is currently working with the two schools, officials and Washington Officials Association on the situation. The WIAA has the utmost concern for the safety of the student-athletes and the welfare of the game."

The video shows Connell's Cole Vanderbilt and Kennan VanHollebeke delivering some hard fouls, some of which could be considered flagrant or intentional, according to some school officials.

The video was posted by Michael Christenson of Yakima, an uncle of Highland's Tanner Christenson. Michael Christenson told the Tri-City Herald on Wednesday that he wasn't expecting the video to go viral. The video has been linked by Yahoo! Sports and Deadspin.

Christenson emailed a copy of the video and demands for action to nine Tri-City Herald employees. He also used a Twitter account to send the video to the NCAA, ESPN, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Tony Kornheiser, Mike Wilbon, TNT's Kenny Smith, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and Jim Rome. The Twitter account has since been deleted.

The video has drawn a variety of criticisms online, with many commentators branding Vanderbilt as a bully.

5 was bad so the others look worse. It shouldn't be allowed by the coach, the parents, or the league.

They also look like they could use some conditioning.

No offense, but the one dude kind of looks like Boyd with a mustache.
