Juulie once made this point a while ago. She just pointed out that the defenders usually truly believe that they did not contact the shooter. It's not that they're arguing whether or not the contact was a foul. They really believe that they "never touched him".
Realizing this has made dealing with the defender's outburst a little easier for me. I'm not sure why, but it has.
