Though the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League is dedicated to the sport of baseball, events occasionally take place elsewhere in the sports world that are of an incredible nature or gravity. Introducing the "Other Sports" label, here are two ejections from the basketball world.
Crew Chief Scott Foster ejected Lakers forward Lamar Odom for Flagrant Type 2 and Lakers center Andrew Bynum for Flagrant Type 2 during the 4th Quarter of the Lakers-Mavericks game. With 9:06 remaining in the 4th, Odom committed an off ball foul on Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki. Though Umpire Jason Phillips initially signaled the Flagrant Type 1 call, after replay review, the decision was made to upgrade the foul to a Flagrant Type 2 and ejection of Odom from the contest.* With 8:21 remaining in the 4th, Bynum committed a flagrant foul on Mavericks guard J.J. Barea, who was an airborne shooter at the time of the foul; Barea's shot entered the basket and was scored. Bynum was immediately and simultaneously ejected by all three officials, Foster, Referee Ron Garretson, and Phillips. A simultaneous ejection by multiple officials is credited to the Crew Chief (Foster).** At the time of Odom's ejection, the Mavericks were leading, 94-68. At the time of Bynum's ejection, the Mavericks were leading, 100-68. The Mavericks ultimately won the contest, 122-86, and won the series, 4-0.
These are Scott Foster (48)'s first and second credited ejections of the 2011 Post Season.
Lakers forward Ron Artest was also ejected for a Flagrant Type 2 earlier during the Lakers-Mavericks series.
