Severity Of The Holding ...

I see your point, but, especially on the far side of the lane, White is definitely holding, actually holding with two arms at one point. After they move over to the near side of the lane the holding is definitely less severe, but it's still there. I wish that Lead had caught the earlier foul.

Give White #1 some credit. He's trying to be an aggressive pest, like a mosquito, or a gnat, defending an opponent almost a foot taller than he. You've got to love his guts, his confidence, and unabashed effort.
