I understand the part about Gerald fouling Bobby because he had his hearing aid turned down and couldn't hear the whistle. BUT the part I do not understand is how does NOT hearing the whistle justify not calling a flagrant? "If I would have heard the whistle I would not have knocked Bobby down to the floor as hard as I could"??? There is a big difference between fouling and knocking someone on their ass - just ask Robert Horry and Dirk. Then Gerald gives Tmac a bloody lip..... Typical ref job up & down over the course of the game. I wonder which casino they work for? Can we get Chuck Hayes a hearing aid please?
If you watch it again it was hardly a flagarant foul, BJax fell and sort of over empasized the bump. DD
Yeah, there was light contact, but it was more the awkward landing by Bobby that made it look bad. I would have been OK with a personal foul being issued for the play. But it was more of a bad fall by Jackson than a flagrant play by Wallace.
The thing is, Gerald Wallace does things without consider the consequences. It not only put others in danger, but also himself. I can't count how many times he got hurt for diving after loose ball or going after a rebound. You can call it relentless, but when he constantly put himself or others in harmful situations, it's more stupidity than bravery.
i don't think he wears a hearing aid, seemed like bill was just being sarcastic about him not being able to hear the whistle.
my guess is it has to do with hs concussion? plus i think the fall made it worse than it was. bobby fell flat on his back.
