good eye on catching plays while looking around...
How this referee, standing nearby the play didn't automatically react and call a technical foul and eject the player all in one call...

ITCHBURG - Nichols College sophomore guard and Tewksbury native Nate Tenaglia calmly shot a wide-open 3-pointer from the corner on Tuesday night during his team's season opener at Fitchburg State.
He held his follow-through and watched the ball fall through the net. Then, out of nowhere, he was victimized by what many are calling one of the dirtiest plays in recent college basketball memory.
The vicious incident happened with less than three minutes remaining.
Video footage shows Fitchburg State's Kewan Platt jogging up to Tenaglia after he buried the 3-pointer and clocking him with a brutal right elbow to the face that knocked the unsuspecting Tenaglia down hard to the court and had him writhing in pain as he covered his face with his hands. That video has gone viral and received national attention.
Platt was hit with his second technical foul of the game and was ejected. On Wednesday, Fitchburg State announced that he had been suspended from the team and barred from campus.
Fitchburg State student Clayton Rodriguez, also a criminal justice major, said he has the same Latin American studies class as Platt.
The class met Wednesday, the day after FSU played Nichols College, he said.
A police officer pulled Platt out of the class at about 1:30 p.m., according to Rodriguez.
"The cops came and yanked him out of class today, I was like, shocked," he said, on his way to the Recreation Center. "The cops were like, 'can you come here' and they took him and he didn't come back anymore. They had a report in their hand so I assume it was because of the incident."
Rodriguez, who attended Tuesday's game, said he agreed Platt deserved to be booted off the team, but said his expulsion was a step too far.
"It's his education, OK, just punish him and kick him off the team, make a public announcement, say sorry, but consider his education, because education's important," he said.
This snow flake doesn't get it... When you assault someone, police are called, you're arrested and you suffer the consequences of your actions...
Being on the team on and on a scholar is a privilege, not a right... We're talking about assault and battery...
What if a student beats up or kills another student??? Does this snow flake believe this student should still go to school????
