It's the final game of the series, and there's just no reason for an intentional foul like that. So even though it could have easily been a Flagrant One, I think the officials made a good call by going Two and ejecting Odom. It's not like Odom had ANY remorse and it's not like keeping him around, especially after a cheap shot, would serve any purpose. The Lakers were done; keeping him around wouldn't give them any more chance of winning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-2784572212960032352011-05-09T09:14:50.211-07:002011-05-09T09:14:50.211-07:00I'm not a basketball official, but the first d...I'm not a basketball official, but the first didn't seem flagrant enough to warrant an ejection.<br /><br />The second, though, should come with fines and suspension for several games next year.

I think there's a few other hug...Bill and Jim,<br /><br />I think there's a few other huge differences between baseball and other sports that leads to more ejections.<br /><br />1. No time limit. There's a big difference between running out onto the field to contest a call when you have to burn time or a time out and basically given a time out between every play.<br /><br />2. Formal method of challenging calls. Why do coaches not argue calls in football? Instant replay. They don't have to run onto the field, they can just throw a red flag. For multiple reasons, though, the instant replay as used in football is incompatable with baseball. <br /><br />3. The pure number of regular season games per team. <br />Number of games per team: NBA: 82. NHL: 82. NFL: 16 MLB: 162 games All leagues have 30 or 32 teams, which takes out being concerned about weighing total games per season instead of games per team. <br /><br />So 1 season of baseball is equivilant to 2 seasons of hockey and basketball and 10 seasons of football. <br /><br />4. ...and yes, as both of you mentioned, the lack of any other method to penalize. However, compared to football, hockey, or basketball, the comparitives (free bases and free runs) are much more drastic than 5-15 yards, a shootout, powerplay, or free throws. In fact, the only penalty close to penality bases or penality runs would be the power play in hockey.JPINFVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-21056443060420148982011-05-08T21:06:14.896-07:002011-05-08T21:06:14.896-07:00To Bill and Jim, I would definitely agree. I can o...To Bill and Jim, I would definitely agree. I can only think of a few ejections in the last few years in the NFL. Even out of those ejections there are hardly any from arguing with an official. Usually in football, ejects occur for fighting or late or illegal hits, like this one <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e62ubSIBoA0" rel="nofollow">here (great officiating btw)</a>. Even with the NFL getting stricter on illegal hits and including more as an illegal hit, those punishments usually come from the league or only result in a personal foul. <br /><br />Justin Smith of the 49'ers was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7RDNBAgdBk" rel="nofollow">ejected</a> this year for bumping the U in a game, but that was from a skirmish, not from arguing. Jay Cutler received a U.S.C. penalty for arguing. Two years ago Brandon Stokely was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXHvBTifG8E" rel="nofollow">ejected</a> for contacting an official as the result of arguing over a P.I. call, but again he was ejected for the contact, not the arguing itself.Jeremy Dirckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377576945075992373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-25659223654775572452011-05-08T20:32:10.726-07:002011-05-08T20:32:10.726-07:00Baseball has many more ejects than other sports be...Baseball has many more ejects than other sports because of what Bill said and because there are many more games, played more often.

Ejection is the only true enforcement tool we have in baseball, but we are the only major sport we someone can run onto the field of play and not be immedaitely penalized for it. It is simultaneously a great and bad tradition of the game.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-6109657415727000172011-05-08T15:34:00.484-07:002011-05-08T15:34:00.484-07:00Compared to A-Rod going "AAAA" behind th...Compared to A-Rod going "AAAA" behind the 3b trying to catch a pop up a few years ago, this is bush league times one million.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-25015094497279328032011-05-08T15:30:29.709-07:002011-05-08T15:30:29.709-07:00If they were indicated in the box score (X ejected...If they were indicated in the box score (X ejected by Y, like baseball), we could easily incorporate other sports.
