If they find on review an uncalled personal foul that is deemed fine worthy, they should start the following game with one strike against them.Exactly...Here is the rule for ejection....You can't punch, hit or cuss at someone more than two times but you can take out their knees or take off their head and it is ok....What a joke....
Section 4 Automatic Disqualification. Article 1. Multiple Fouls.
In addition to any penalty referenced elsewhere in the Official Playing Rules, a player will be automatically disqualified in the event that player is penalized twice in the same game for committing one of the unsportsmanlike conduct fouls listed below, or a combination of the fouls listed below:
1. Throwing a punch, or a forearm, or kicking at an opponent, even though no contact is made.
2. Using abusive, threatening, or insulting language or gestures to opponents, teammates, officials, or representatives of the League.
3. Using baiting or taunting acts or words that engender ill will between teams.
The player will be automatically disqualified regardless of whether the penalty is accepted or declined by the opponent. The fouls do not have to be judged by the official to be flagrant for the automatic disqualification to occur, and any foul that occurs during the pregame warm-up period will carry over into the game. Nothing in this section supersedes the Game Official's discretion to judge a foul to be flagrant and disqualify the player based on one occurrence. The addition of a new Section 4 will cause the current Section 4 to become Section 5.
