The latest slew of amazing high school basketball players is lead by OJ Mayo (sounds like a gross combo). Anyway, to sum up an "indicident" that occurred, OJ's Nationally #1 ranked team faced off against the #2 team in their state. Late in the game, Mayo puts a thunderous dunk in posterizing form over a victimized defender. Mayo proceeds to walk back down the court with some intimidation attitude. He gets a Tech and some mild hell breaks loose. From the first video, you can see it appears he's somewhat guilty of several things. The second video clears him of all contact (before and after the 2nd T), and especially with the ref who flopped into the scoring table.

If he toucheed the ref at all, which he did bump him no matter how small, he should be suspended for a number of games. How can you be so talented and do things like that is beyond me. If you can't control your temper better then that at the High school level where the disipline is probably greater, In the NBA he is just going to be another stat that has a short career.

For the record the first T he was given wasn't for the showboating. It was for holding the ball and a delay of game. He carries the ball to the ft line before he even lets go so on that standpoint he is deserving of the first t. From there on out I thought he acted pretty composed with a guy even shoving him and didn't deserve anything after that.

Any type of contact with an official is a felony offense. I dont care how hard the bump....He bumped him thus the 2nd T....the first T was to control the game. Mayo is clearly in the wrong PERIOD

"Any" would include accidental, which if there was any, it was clearly accidental, there would be a minimum of two ejections a game if "any" contact with the ref was called.
I hate people who take basketball so seriously, thats not the way it was ever intended to be played, it was intended to be a fun way for athletes to compete in the off season. |

was he angry when he approched the Ref????? Did he make contact with the ref???? The answer to both those questions are yes. That is an automatic ejection from the game. AUTOMATIC. It doenst matter what his intentions were. The state board of athletics mandates that any contact with an official with malitious intentent is an automatic ejection and will be further punished by the state board of athletics. I understand what should be or what could be, but that is the way the rules state. Understand I have been through this on both sides of the fence fellas

When he approaches the Official in that way, it is consider malicious. Obviously he didnt mean to do any harm, but ANY contact with an official in that way is considered mallicious.

Anybody else notice that Lazo just watches Mayo after the first T and makes no attempt to stop him from rejoining the ruckus? A ref intending to stop something from getting out of hand gets in the way and doesn't even allow the player to cause more trouble. But Lazo just watches him and awaits for the time to T him up again. Then, as the 2nd video shows (Shaw), Mayo doesn't even touch anybody before he's T'ed up again. Thank God for these videos, which clears bigot headed people from wrongfully suspending a player.
