By all means, if you sense escalation, you can't wait...but we were not really talking about what else might happen. We're talking about what did happen and assuming that is ALL that happened.
Fair enough, but the lack of a case play saying we can delay a call for any live ball contact foul leaves me unable to take that same step.
