...with being able to turn away, or protect oneself from the contact, but I saw a flop, and every flop I've ever seen had some contact involved. And a "no-call" here is hardly an easy way out; not making some call is likely to be more controversial than making some kind of call. The thing that I've seen happen in many cases, and I think is more egregious, is the defender will maintain LGP, but back up, and that gets called a block.
In this case, we see it differently.
