Video of flagrant foul no-calls at basketball game goes vira

1-4 and 6 are obviously fouls but could be considered just overly physical if the game was a tight one. In high school I played in several games where fouls like that became pretty common. Our teams, like these Washington teams, were fairly talentless and full of football players. Number 5, however, was unacceptable. If i cared about either team I would be outraged at the player and ref after that maneuver and lack of ejection

I disagree. All 6 were at the very least intentional, and #5 was flagrant. Note once did they make a play for the ball. They should have all been 2 shots + the ball at the spot of the foul. I've been an official for 25 years and I guarantee I would have kicked the kid out after the drive for the layup, but it shouldn't have gone that far. You call a couple of intentional fouls right away and have a conversation with the kids.

Frankly, I'm amazed at the restraint shown by the red team during all of this.

Connell is a prison town in Central Washington. Not saying that has anything to do with this, but it's curious.
 
Interestingly enough. All the fouls happened in the first 10 minutes. The rest of the game was relatively calm.
 
I hate to judge someone based on just a few video clips... but it appears to me that #34 is in serious need of an absolute ass kicking.
