Lakers coach Byron Scott, after expressing befuddlement at a flagrant foul called on one of his players in a win Sunday over the Indiana Pacers, said college basketball is more aggressive and "much more physical" than the NBA.
The foul, a flagrant 1, was called on Lakers forward Carlos Boozer after his hard shove sent Pacers center Roy Hibbert to the court with 5:54 left in the fourth quarter of the Lakers' 88-87 win over the Pacers at Staples Center.
Hibbert came to his feet and charged Boozer, and the players had to be separated. Hibbert was called for a technical foul on the play.
"I asked all three referees to explain to me what a flagrant foul is from now, because I have no clue. I really don't," Scott said.
