Hot take: Incidental contact to the face/head shouldn’t be a flagrant or even a foul in some cases
I just saw Tari Easton get called for an offensive foul because the defensive player ran in front of him and tried to take a charge (wasn’t set) but because his arms hit his face it’s an offensive foul.
It’s ridiculous players do a natural basketball move and the defensive player sticks his face into them and they get rewarded.
