It is if the ball never gets there. Again, you keep wanting everyone to take on your logic and philosophy on this type of play. That is not going to happen. As I have said and others have said to you, this is commonly the philosophy at that level. If you do not want to accept that logic, then don't. I just know I would be happy if I made this call and my partners talked me off of this foul. I would also not call this if I saw the entire play. And this play is not that uncommon. There are often interceptions that are made with some kind of contact before the ball gets to the area of the so-called interference. And touching alone is not a foul. Restriction is a foul.
