Thanks for the chance
I'm sure we've all had a similar play where we pass on the first one, pass on the second one (thinking, that's marginal, but it's getting closer and closer to illegal) than the third one comes and bam we hit the defender with the foul. In this case, I felt the defender was legal on the third one, but I feel he was penalized as a culmination of the previous ones.
But when I look at the play that was penalized, the defender is legal and the offense extends a forearm. So either it's a No Call or it's Player Control, we can't penalize the defense on that play alone.
That's what I meant by "safe call"
I don't know about his particular courage, but I'm pretty sure you don't make it to that level of being a referee without courage.
