Ask Rudy
In the NHL, guys such as Bowen would get away with that shit about 2x before someone came off the bench to 'neutralize' him. It wouldn't be left to suits in the NY office to figure out what to do. They would settle it like men on the field of play.
Ask Rudy Tomjanovich about that solution. The reason they don't allow fights in the NBA is that players would die. The flip side of that is that it is the responsibility of the league to go after dirty players. Which is what the flagrant foul is all about. Bowen has apparently found a relatively subtle flagrant foul technique. I expect it will be dealt with, but it may well take an explosion or two to kick in the solution.
