As a reminder, a Flagrant Foul Penalty 1 is defined as "unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent."
Determining factors include:
* The severity of the contact
* Whether or not the offending player was making a legitimate play on the ball
* The "nature of the follow-through."
* The potential for injury.

Tyler Kolek says he appreciates Mike Brown's style of coaching:
"He coaches me hard. You want a head coach that's on you - if he's not, that's more of a problem than the other way around.
When you're a point guard, you're an extension of the coach. If he's trying to get his message across, he's going to say it to you. Maybe he didn't mean it AT you, but he's trying to get it across to everyone on the team."
Kolek then adds to a story that Mike Brown told from the Knicks' game in Minnesota:
"I made a three, they called a timeout, and I said, 'I'm gonna knock that mfer down.' When I'm in the flow of it, I love talking. It gets me going."
