So IMO, the officials did a good job of not calling it.

One more thing, Oden is a big boy, maybe you need to actually see him in person to appreciate his size. You get all that motion going in one direction, you can't just stop in mid-flight. I waiting to see what the referee might call when one of those dunks kick a defender in the face. I wonder if they would have the balls to call it. I would give Oden the power dunk but he ain't slapping the ball away so the opponents can't inbound real quick. That will be a easy delay of game call.
There's also another unwritten rule that says if you "T" him once, you probably won't see it again in that game or any other game that Mr. Oden may see you at. Just like if you give him a delay of warning the first time he knocks the ball away after the made basket, he probably won't be doing it again.

O/S when I read you I think of these two quotes from "A Few Good Men"... "Thank you for playing "Should we or should we not listen to the advice of the galactically stupid!" & "You're such a idiot (edited from coward), I can't believe they let you wear a uniform."
