It's true... you're not going to have a foul every time somebody falls. Which is why I said I'd be fine with a no-call in this situation.
I have to agree with johnny. I fail to see how his response takes your question out of context.

I never claimed you said you or anybody else would change their mind because a player fell. I did say, using an injury or lack thereof to determine whether or not a foul occurred is not a criteria to determine whether or not a player's actions constitute a foul. Seems to me my response is in the exact context of your post.
