No. That's what you are seeing not me.
The video? Been there done that.

Sparks tried to jump into Torbert. The camera angle you saw, I'll bet, was from the endline, away from Torbert and toward the corner.
You got a skewed view of the direction.
Sparks' legs do not come up "square" and moving toward the right with the contact you are wishing.

Torbert started in front of Sparks (legs down your picture) and ended up behind Sparks (legs aquared my picture). No contact, just silk on silk. Sparks' shorts would have been wrinkled and Sparks would have been on the floor if it happened as you say.
