Elbow to Kriener's face

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagrant_foul

  • A flagrant 1 foul (men's) or unsportsmanlike foul (women's) involves excessive or severe contact during a live ball, including especially when a player "swings an elbow and makes illegal, non-excessive contact with an opponent above the shoulders". This offense includes the former "intentional foul" of fouling an opposing player to prevent an easy breakaway score. In women's basketball only, the unsportsmanlike foul also includes contact dead-ball technical fouls. The penalty for a flagrant 1 or unsportsmanlike foul is two free throws and a throw-in for the opposing team at the out-of-bounds spot nearest the foul.

So the elbow to Kriener's face was absolutely and unequivocally an F1 and the grab by JBo to prevent an easy breakaway was also an F1. And neither one was called an F1. Thanks for making my point

The difference is that one was weak and the other was an elbow to the face that actually called bodily injury
