The point is this. Just because someone got hurt does not mean that a foul should have been called or that it made things worse. Basketball is a game where contact occurs and it is allowed. If it was not, any touch would result in ejection immediately. It sounded to me that you were implying that the officials allowed this player to get poked in the eye. Well even if a foul was called on the player being poked in the eye, he still would have been poked in the eye. Our job is to call what takes place, not to prevent everything that can possibly happen on the basketball court.
Peace
