Are you sure? Look at the defenders left arm extended into the dribbler for 2-3 steps before the charge. It is certainly there. The only question is whether it was enough. Without it, could the dribbler have veered more towards the lane and either avoided the subsequent contact entirely (not likely) or at least made it so that the defender wouldn't have got to the spot in time (possibly)? I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the dribbler. The C was doing so too before the L was hot on the call....if he was on the primary and letting the L take the secondary.
