Your entitled to your opinion, Brian. But mine (and Ilya's) is definitely different! When did you see the ND player's arm extend? From what I saw, if the arm extended AT ALL, it happened AFTER the SH player was falling to the floor...and the falling was NOT a result any arm extension. The falling occurred because the defender "chested up" to the ND player as he was trying to dribble diagonally past SH player. And BTW, did you even notice the SH player already leaning backward to fall down as the ND player's path was illegally cut off?
I thought it was a bad call BEFORE the instant replay...and I thought it was a bad call AFTER the instant replay.
