The NBA sends two messages by not upgrading Mickael Pietrus' flagrant foul: You can pop a guy in midair if he's big and can grab the rim; and rulings on such calls are as confusing as ever, Ken Berger says.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Pau Gasol is from Spain, Mickael Pietrus from France. So when they have a confrontation on the court, what language is it in?
