The Cavaliers believe that Detroit's Rasheed Wallace got off extremely lightly after his hard foul on Cleveland center Zydrunas Ilgauskas on Sunday.

Coach Mike Brown thought Wallace's foul - he hacked Ilgauskas on top of the head as he drove to the basket with 10:13 left in the first quarter and opened two cuts on his scalp that required five stitches to close - should've been classified as a flagrant-2 because Wallace wasn't going after the ball.  

A flagrant-2 would've meant an ejection and potential suspension for the game against the Pistons game tonight in Cleveland.

``It was the wrong call. I thought Rasheed got upset and hit him on purpose,'' Brown said. ``It didn't look from my vantage point that he went for the ball.''

Wallace became upset when Ilgauskas elbowed him in the chest fighting for position before the ball arrived. After Ilgauskas got the ball and made a move to the hoop, Wallace bashed him in the head on purpose and admitted as such afterward, which might not help his cause with the league.

``Why would I crack that cat in the skull to start the game if I wasn't elbowed first,'' Wallace said.
