Whoa there, podner. Now I think that you're taking this sitch outa context a little, Tom.
The description of the contact on this particular play wasn't general; it was very specific. The contact was initiated from a defender behind an airborne shooter, displaced that airborne shooter and then dumped him flat on his butt. The shooter doesn't hit the deck without the contact. Two very distinct elements were involved-- definite displacement on the shot and a shooter subsequently ending up on the floor as a result of that displacement. We weren't talking about any other different forms of defensive contact after a good block. I agree that
all forms of contact after a good block doesn't necessarily mean that a foul is involved. Those situations are judged on their individual merit by the calling official and some sureashell aren't fouls and shouldn't be called as such.
That clarify my take on this one a l'il better?
