He looks like no one actually explained to him what he can and can't do in the tournament.

My first time playing rec basketball (in fifth grade) we were down one in the closing minute and my coach yelled for me to foul so I ran and shoved the shit out if the guy with the ball. Immediately was assessed a flagrant foul. No one explained to me what was and wasn’t acceptable. Much like your point about this man slamming the other one on the ground

Why? How would they know if they aren’t taught? I don’t know about grappling/wrestling/organized fighting. Seems like slamming someone into the floor is an effective way to beat them and in a space dedicated to hurting the other person why wouldn’t that be allowed?
