And I want to know why contact by the offensive player holding the defenders arm is a foul on the friggin defender!!
Me too.....

And I don't find out, heads will roll!

I always thought it was kind of a good idea to call the foul on the player doing the holding, not the player being held.

Btw, Rock, in about 2-3 rule books in a row, they had a POE on Post Play. From the 2003-04 book:
POE 2 C Post Play: The offense can "shape up" to receive a pass or to force the defense to deply or assume a legal guarding position at the side, in front or behind the offensive post player. When the offensive post player then uses the "swim stroke", pushes, pins, elbows, forearms, holds, clears with the body or just generally demonstrates rough physical movement or tactics, this is a foul on the offensive player and must be called.

And don't get me started about that offensive pass interference call that wiped out that touchdown either. Remember that one?
