I believe at the time that the fouled was called, you have to come up with a push.
I also believe that a no call on a hand-check was correct.
I feel that if the C comes up with anything early it should be a hold. That is just my personal interpretation of a hand-check.(Fine line for me)
It would've been nice if the C could've taken a big step down as the play goes through, although he may have straight-lined himself even more if he had done that.
If I were completely anal in my evaluation, I might ding him for not even glancing at the play going on at the elbow, though the play did start on the boundary of his primary and there was really nothing going on at the elbow, he watched the ball all the way down. I would assume if I was the C that the L or T might be able to help out if anything goes on with that cluster at the FT line.
I really don't have a problem with the way it was handled.
As I say - I have never missed one from the stands!!
BTW - Does anyone know if that guard was hurt bad? It looked nasty.
