I agree that angle would be better, but you can tell that LBJ took his body to move his defender to the floor. Yes there was some arm contact by the defender, but he was put in a helpless position by the body movement alone to the floor. You have bodies on the floor; you better know how they got there. Joey saw that entire play by his positioning and his angle and got the call right. The media is just stupid as hell and they apparently want a gun to be used before someone can be called for a foul. But if little contact on near the basket takes place and the shooter is "hit" no matter how legal the defender is, they want every little foul to be called. Or they complain if the right person does not get a foul call. Sports media are the most inept group of people in all of media. I see political media people point out the smallest inconsistency in a claim and the sports media cannot look at a rulebook or the box score and see how stupid these claims they make. They are just plain lazy.

Peace
