The dirtiest foul I've seen in YEARS on a basketball court!

(hat-tip to my anonymous friend and to Deadspin)

Dateline:  Kansas.

Hanover vs. Centralia, in the Kansas 1A State semifinal, 3rd quarter.

Thomas Atkins of Hanover goes for a breakaway dunk, and this happened...

Better look of the dirty push at the 1A State Tournament. Dirtiest Play of the Year? #DidntGetEjected #DemoteTheRefs @KSHSAA @sportsinkansas @KingJames @StephenCurry30 @NBA @SportsCenter @FBI pic.twitter.com/aaDfKJtpJx

You saw that right.  The Centralia player (I can now give confirmed information from several Twitter accounts, backed up by a 2017 school picture of this player in action -- #10 is senior Nathan Rempe) WAS NOT TOSSED FROM THE GAME.

He was assessed the high-school equivalent of a Flagrant 1.

That is so obviously a Flagrant 2, Intent To Injure (watch Atkins' leg and knee as it goes into the support on the push!!) that whoever this jackass is needs to be gone and possibly arrested!

Since his team lost, his season is over -- so now the question has to be whether he should be banned for all spring sports (and further), or possibly expelled or arrested...
