what is an unsportsmanlike conduct?
479698
Conduct unbecoming of a sportsman!  It depends on the sport, but in American football its anything that would be considered poor sportsmanship.  Such as taunting, tackling someone after the play is over, doing a dance in the endzone.  Just being a jerk, basically.

at least a 6 month suspension, during League play (of their defined country) and comprehensive training. However, I do believe certain events - like bribery should warrant a lifetime ban. Too bad a scumbag lacky like Lorrando - Uruguay - was allowed back in after being suspended by the Uruguayan League in 2002 for bribes and inconsistent calls in 4 internatinoal matches. Calling a bad game is one thing - lack of integrity to bribe is another.

Fans do not have a right to express everything they feel, especially if it leads to violence. Throwing objects that hit players or rioting is unacceptable. So, at times, yes, games have to be played behind closed doors to punish clubs whose fans behave in an unacceptable way.

Surely the answer to this lies in the refereeing. Players will try anything to win and if they are allowed to get away with these displays of bad sportsmanship they will continue.

I thinks it's ridiculous.  I think the players should be able to express their feelings with out getting thrown out of the game. It's one thing if they are fighting or something.....but if they're just yelling out loud or just plain frustrated....that's no need for a technical foul or being ejected. It's a terrible rule and I wish they would do away with it.

I think the difference is that taunting may just be a verbal thing where unsportsmanlike conduct could be a physical thing like fighting or tackling someone out of bounds.\n\nBoth are 15 yard penalties, but unsportsmanlike conduct could potentially result in an ejection.

Maybe you meant the player's being disqualified?  If so, that would mean that a player either accumulated 6 personal fouls and has "fouled out" (This means that they are no long eligible to re-enter the game) or they have been given two technicals by the officials and have been tossed from the game. \n\nHope this helps.

oh yes it is they can get penalized either 1 or 2 ways either by unneccesary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct and could even get ejected from the game depending on the official that's a nono you can only tackle a person from behind if they have the ball and you're behind them but not without the ball

uncharacteristic, something that you don't normally do like if you are usually mild mannered and all of a sudden have a violent outburst it is considered uncharacteristic. Inappropriate is something that is offending to others, like pulling down your pants and exposing yourself or picking your nose and eating it.

It officially isn't a foul. The rule is as follows:\n\nIn Fifa's Laws of the Game 2005, Law 12 says a free-kick or penalty will be awarded if a player "handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)".\n\nUnfortunately it isn't really the case as many fouls are still awarded when its ball to hand not hand to ball.

YES!  The Media and society has portrayed him and this incident as violent and/or violence.  And in this particular case it's not.  I agree he can sometimes be a little aggressive but, he's a coach.  Coaches get just as emotional, pumped and physical as the players do.   Not saying thats a free pass to do whatever he or she pleases.    Coaches want their players, school and themselves to succeed in life and in the game.  Knight is one of those thats very passionate about what he does and he demands respect for that.  I respect that, and I think that his past and present players do too.  Thats why the parents of Prince (the player he didn't slap but, got his attention by nudging his chin up) said he did nothing wrong.  If the parents found nothing wrong with this than, it's no one others business.  Maybe if parents today demanded respect from their kids, they wouldn't be so quick to put people like Knight, under a microscope.

How else can someone be expected to follow any code of conduct? If you don't know the rules, how do you know when you're breaking them?

Playing too much football or even watching it can lead to violent behavior such as having a short fuse to fighting for no reason due to others reaction to a penalty or touchdown. Just an opinion on a negative aspect.

Traveling?!? Is that still a violation in the NBA?

Yes, a whole lot of the uncalled fouls are just amazing. I mean, I've seen some bad officiating in watching Baseball, and horrible when it comes to football, but I mean, the guy that got a red Card on CZE just now, and the yellow card that just got given. He hit the ball full on...\n\nSome of the offsides are extremely close too...\n\nThese refs just aren't being consistent at all... it's too bad too...
