Well, then maybe we saw the play differently; I thought the block was clean, but the body contact forced the player to fall OOB. If you saw it differently, I'm not going to argue as it was outside my area.
Of course players fall all the time without a foul needing to be called. I was simply trying to address some of the comments where it was pointed out since the block was clean, and the ball was going OOB anyway, there's no advantage gained from the contact, so it's a no-call. I'm just wondering how how long one should wait in determining when there really is an advantage from the contact before blowing the whistle?
