League and the officials clearly aren't cutting Rondo any slack, I just saw the video.
Anyone without his history doesn't get a peep about it, heck the ref might not have even put it in his after action report. But Rondo has a target on his back because of all his prior behavior.
They aren't cutting him any slack, but given his history, I don't think they have any reason to.
Whether you or I or Rondo think it is right or not, the fact is the league has this policy that the players must respect the refs. Rondo is by all accounts a very smart guy. He should know enough to make darn sure he doesn't touch an official. Ever.
The fact that he so casually walked up to the official and clearly didn't even make an effort not to bump into him just shows you how arrogant Rondo is. Unbelievable. Sometimes he really doesn't seem to think about the effect of his actions on his team.
