It's not tough play, it's rough play with it crossing the line to dirty far too often.
Not sure what the league is thinking in allowing it.
I've seen fouls that would have been called flagrant in the NBA of the late 80s to mid 90s. But
Not sure what the officials think they're accomplishing letting the play get so rough.
The one-sided nature notwithstanding.
