So in your words, Peace!
You have to keep in mind there is a rule in the rulebook called "Incidental Contact." So contact must displace or be significant to give a foul. And on these plays I want more contact that actually knocks the player down, not them being kind of off balance and they fall. Total judgement call and if someone called this a foul I would certainly understand. I just do not think or hope I would make such a call. Heck under the right circumstances the player would not have to fall for me to call a foul either. But this is a constant thing I think we need to go through to decide if we should call a foul.

Peace
