  That was my thought when I heard it too.  But I heard a radio interview 
with some newspaper guy that follows the Nets (sorry, I can't remember his 
name), and he was convinced that with the way the NBA is calling the flagrant 
fouls this season, it is out of the players control.  
  Believe me, I'm no Nets fan, and I'm certainly no Martin fan.  But we've 
seen instances with the Celtics were harmless fouls have been called 
flagrant.  Walter McCarty had one not that long ago.  It happens.
