Oso planning to go pro
I guess I'm an outlier here. Intentionally grabbing the defenders jersey, leading to him being pulled into the defender and tearing the jersey, was completely unnecessary and could have led to an injury. Should be a flagrant 1 (equivalent of old intentional foul).That doesn't even take into consideration the fact that it was done intentionally to make it look like the defender fouled him.Also, upon review they can't take away the original foul call, so if they don't call a flagrant, the Michigan player is going to the line with the chance to win it.
I did not think he intentionally reached out to grab the jersey to pull the defender into himself. I thought he reached out instinctively as he was falling to cushion his own fall.Have you seen quotes to support the viewpoint you asserted? Indeed, the only quote I saw was Juwan Howard saying the ref specifically told him the jersey grab was to brace the Michigan player's fall.

Grabbing a defenders jersey and pulling him into you with such force that it rips a hole in the defender's jersey and causes both players to fall to the ground is clearly not a "normal basketball act" and should be a Flagrant 1 under section 1(h).Rule 2(d) is clearly the Brad Davison Rule.
what if such contact is not intended but rather incidental, or done for protection, as the play last night seemed to be.
Maybe tOSU has awful quality
