Was Shaq’s foul against the Pistons’ Rodney Stuckey deserving of a flagrant foul?

“The laws of physics state that ‘a body in motion stays in motion,’” Shaq told Suns.com. “And if you have two objects that meet in air, the smaller object is going to fall much harder at the same rate of speed it was going. I’ve never been the type of player to take anyone out - I was going for the ball. He fell and he added a little bit to the end. The referees looked at how he fell, I think. It’s nothing I’m worried about; I’ve never been that type of player. If you understand physics like that, anytime you come in there out of control like that and you run into a brick wall, you’re going to get that effect.”

Those were Shaq’s quotes after the game and there is no denying that Shaq is a mountain of a man but is he right or were the refs justified in calling a flagrant foul on O’Neal?
