Got ejected and should be suspended.

dam what did he do?

what did they all do?

super coach will get them out of trouble!

Is an ejection an automatic suspension?

Could someone shed some light on what happened? How often is there three ejections in an ABA game

Webber head butted Zorich and Zorich retaliated and got thrown out. Webber then went on to hit Reardon and Hambour throughout the game and Hambour had enough and returned a hit as Webber cut through the lane. This resulted in both players being ejected.
Refs never had control of the game and an advantage i felt was given to the Flames with Zorich being tossed after he was the one that got head butted.
Flames played far better on the night.

Webber is the one who will be sweating.
King hits walking to time outs should make you sit for a few weeks.

Webber in alot of trouble. Three videos being taken of the game and two got good vision. Very cheap. I am a firm believer in if you go outside the rules of the game then you suffer the consequences. Webber should get weeks. Good luck to him though as Norwood are a much better unit when he is playing basketball. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Cam Wood got 4 weeks in 2003 for squaring up the opposition and touching foreheads, so if there is any consistancy, webber should be in lots of trouble.

Its just a pity no one actually saw what is claimed to be a head butt, supposedly not even on camera - so we will wait and see I guess.

Schueller will make some changes, like bringing Dusty back!

I can assure you we do have the footage on camera. The tribunal will see the footage and let me tell you he is in trouble. I don't want Norwood to be disadvantaged but Webber was completely in the wrong. He should and wil get weeks. After viewing the footage a dew times since he will be lucky for anyting less than 6 weeks.I really believe Norwood's chances are gone. Very selfish by Webber.

Another incident from last time these two teams met was the younger Webber grabbing one of the Rockets guys legs whilst he was sitting on the bench(where he belongs). Classy boys. Real classy.

When do we find out the outcome? Can someone please post online? Webber you are trapped in a web of deceit.

Wasn't at the game and just heard about the incident on this forum.

Just wondering which Webber was it? Andrew or Dan?

Observer mind posting the so called incident so everyone can take a look?

ahhhh if the ref didn't call anything on webber for the headbutt then it shouldn't be allowed into tribunal... its bullshit if someone can be pinned for something the ref didn't see/call... get off your high horses guys, its men's basketball, don't like it then go watch the womens games where you belong

It will be interesting if this footage does eventuate.

Pretty sure both refs will get a game this week, but I doubt one of them will get a game once they get down to 2 games a night

Nathan is the best ump in the league, just ask him

Unfortently he can not work North Adelaide games..........

Whack the video on YouTube

Whilst it was a gutless act by Webber, I doubt the Rockets will lower themselves and pursue it further. Being a thug is not being a tough basketball player, just shows a lack of intelligence. If I was Norwood's coach I'd be concerned that that is the way they won the game....going the knuckle.

You need to do what you need to do to win!!
If that means getting under the oppositions skin then so be it. It usually doesnt take much to get under Hambours skin but i was suprised that Ziggy lost his cool. There must have been an incident for him to snap!

In saying that if you do the crime you do the time! With all the video taping of the games these days you need to be alot smarter to get away with dirty play.

So Ricey,

If I were to pull a knife and stab you in a game of basketball without the ref "seeing the incident" it would be OK then?

And before you claim that a knife attack and assault are not to be compared, ask David Hooks family if they would rather a stab wound or the 1 hit he took.

As always you my friend are a can short of a six pack!

Im sure North and Norwood have moved on and both Coaching staffs will be working on how to beat their next opponents. Yes Webber was in the wrong but nothing will happen. I tell you what it will do is mean a massive crowd next time these two play. This rivalry keeps growing. As for shaking hands i saw him shake hands so not sure what you are going on about, i also saw Webber shake hands so big deal. bring on the next round.

Headbutting an opponent as he walks to a time out = gutless. Refs got it wrong and kicked the wrong player out when he naturally retaliated. Tech for the retaliation sure, but to throw the starting point guard out 4 mins. into the game me thinks may have had a bearing on the outcome!

So the refs need to consider how long is left in the game before making an ejection? I don't think so Tim.

Umpires always see the retaliation and miss the initial incident.

ohh yes..you tube please, all of this can be cleared up immediatley.

Not having an involvement either way..to me it sounds like some dummy spitting going on here?

Saying Hambour is 6'9 is very generous I would say more like 6'4.

Also if there is video evidence it should be used, its not a case of "oh the umpire didn't see it so bad luck" like some other clueless guy suggested. That clown is suggesting cheap shots are acceptable as long as the umpire doesn't see it.

All players involved in reportable incidents deserve to get suspended for how many games is reasonable for their actions, regardless of if its finals or not.

Lets not turn this great game into a thug game with no skill like football is at all levels besides AFL.

looked to me like north got rattled by good defence and some physical play by norwood. If north dont like the rough stuff maybe they dont deserve a title.

"Webber then went on to hit Reardon and Hambour throughout the game and Hambour had enough and returned a hit as Webber cut through the lane."
It's quite funny that Hambour is "man" enough to stand up to a guy about a foot shorter than him but when someone his own size like hmmm say Dave Bowley steps to him he goes running and starts crying like a 5 year old girl!
He's so so brave...pffft!

Hambour - a girl? No!

Refs always catch the retaliation. If you are a half smart basketballer you would know that. Take a leap out of Panther's book. Cop it on the chin, wait for your time and send 'em to the bench with a smashed face whilst no-one saw a thing!

It always intrigued me the guys who had a "natural ability" to square someone up at the right time and get away with it.

Its a pity North have decided not to pursue the case, rumour has it they made the decision based on the fact that their players would end up rubbed out longer than any Norwood player might have got.

Why does a club have to pursue it for something to happen.

In this thread the game allegedly involved an attempted headbutt an incident involving numerous players from both clubs and a player pushing/touching a referee.

The League itself should be reviewing the video footage and take action irrespective of what the clubs involved want to do.

More proof that local basketball is run by the clubs and in the end BSA have no real power at all.

Ostrich - BSA doesn't have any video, even the clubs may not have the video, it is held by various individuals. If push came to shove BSA could only get the video if someone voluntarily handed it over.

The AFL is provided with video for review as part of the TV contract so is in a completely different position.

If there was no report from the game, BSA has very limited grounds to act and very limited powers to require spectators to hand over footage taken at the game.

The refs may not have seen everything, but took appropriate action against the incidents they did see.

These two teams could meet again this season. If they do, it might be worth getting to the game!

DaddyO it is a requirement of the ABL that every game is videotaped by the Home club in case of this very thing happening.

So in fact BSA do have access to video of the game through an official process.

But the clubs have 14 days to provide the video, which would mean any tribunal couldn't be held until the week of the GF.

there were no reports people no one is gonna miss games. it was a tough game of basketball that it.

Will the Webber family please stop posting threads.

According to Rocky, it was the North people that decided not to pursue the case. How does that make North people whingers? It sounds more like the peacemakers. I was not at the game and therefore reluctant to comment on the game but it sounds like there was a lot of pushing and shoving on both sides. With the grand final only a few weeks away and both these teams are still in the running, it makes sense to me to let the matter rest and concentrate on the games ahead.

Not just the coaching panel either.

The fact is that the last game counts for squat. The next time they meet it will be a winner takes all match (either the GF or the prelim).

What hasn't been mentioned was the Norwood players talking it up to Andy Simmons that was at the game, shouting taunts at him. These Norwood players have short memories. I think they have celebrated far too early, its a grand final win that only matters

Maybe North decided not to pursue the matter because of the after game party. I hear that a Norwood player was injured in the psot match celebrations, not unlike a Crows/Power Ramsgate event

I pick North to win this week. This incident will only make them play harder and more determined - congratulations N'wood for giving them the drive and motivation they will need to win.

Hilarious post!

i wonder who would come off second best in a ramsgate like event??

The truth would come off second best. The story would rapidly outgrow the event.

This biff has shadowed souths win over sturt and the talk about the upcoming south v north game...
whos gonna win? im obviously going to back south for the win

"Will North people stop whinging?"

Yeah good luck with that request!

If someone invented a 'whingeometor', the NABC would blow the thing to bits!

Can the Webber family PLEASE stop writing on here. We are all sick of this family continuously writing rubbish. Please leave this forum alone if you are not going to write anything constructive.

KingJames you are a joke!
