What is the penalty for intentionally wrapping your arm around a players neck?

A tech or a flagrant.

So you're saying that Copper's should have been called a flagrant foul? 1 or 2?

Taurasi should have been suspended for a game. |
Why?

Re: my "DT should have been ejected" comment:
I am not trying to start an argument or elevate the importance now that what's done is done. I am just late stating my opinion on the subject after others did who also seem to agree that the league should be consistent about following its own rules. It's a shame that the social media response forced their hand; guess they wouldn't have done anything otherwise.
I agree that DT was probably reacting in the heat of the moment, and as a result wasn't going to let anyone - even a ref - get in the way of her checking on her teammate. But she did push a person - who happened to be a ref - not once but twice.
When the ref collided with Ndour two years ago, she was ejected from the game immediately, so it follows in my mind that some similar action would have happened here. Fortunately, the tech and suspension were rescinded in that case, but who knows how that may have impacted the outcome of that game against the Mystics (frankly, probably not much ) since it happened near the end of the second quarter.
I don't remember seeing this part of the Ndour story before:
https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/breaking/ct-chicago-sky-techinical-foul-referee-astou-ndour-20190909-67o3eutkgvbn7aqrfemls7f4vi-story.html

After the game, Sky coach James Wade blamed the incident on a misunderstanding and a language barrier for Ndour, a native of Senegal.
"She’s a sweetheart. If you know her, you’ll know that she didn’t mean any ill will,” Wade said. “One of the issues is it’s good to know when you have a player that doesn’t really speak English and wants to get your attention. Sometimes the next thing is going to be touching.
“He was walking in her path and she just touched him and said, ‘Hey, look.’ I know you can’t do that, but if you know the person, you’d probably second-guess about kicking her out of the game. That hurts the player morale when all they want to do is talk and they have a problem with the language barrier anyway.” |
