Second picture was merely to help people picture how the play transpired. Simlilar, but not exact. Sorry I tried to help clarify.
A still picture doesn't show much of anything when you're trying to establish who fouled who or if there was even a foul at all. All it can do is establish that there was contact at that very moment....which is far from enough to determine fault.
