What does that have to do with anything? That's like the angry fan who yells, "Call something ref, before somebody gets hurt!"

Whether the foul is called or not, Terry threw a punch. Being fouled does not give him that right. Calling the foul does not erase the contact. Don't be so follish as to think that the punch would not have been thrown if a whistle had blown.
