My comments have nothing to do whether there was a foul or not. I did not see the play. I personally do not care if there was a foul or not. But if the actions you state happen, I do not see how the officials are at fault. If the action caused the "poking of the eye," it is not like the officials could do the Jedi mind trick and stop that from happening. So I guess if a foul was called, the "eye poking" would have not taken place. I will remember that next time I officiate a game. I will remember to make sure that I use my Jedi powers to stop any contact. Better yet, why don't we all just sit in the stands and do that so we do not have to blow our whistles. Sounds like a plan to me.

Peace
