The Mavericks Eric Dampier was ejected in an overtime game last night against the Rockets after officials reviewed a flagrant foul called on Aaron Brooks. After 8 minutes, they tossed Dampier because it was his second technical in the game, and the Mavs went on to lose without their starting center. But the NBA rulebook states that only called flagrant 2 fouls are reviewable, and the foul on Brooks was ruled a flagrant 1. You think that refs would know this, but apprantly not. You’d also think that during the review period of 8 minutes, someone would have pointed it out, but that didn’t happen. Let’s see how the league handles it, could be interesting if they decide to replay the overtime period.
