I think the issue that is being debated is that the offese is intiating contact into a defender who isn't doing anything wrong.
Now at this point camps divide:
A) He's getting hit and its displacing him PC.
B-1)He's getting hit but is embellishing that contact, so its his acting not the contact that disadvantages him. No Call
B-2) Same as B-1 + His acting equates to faking being fouled so should this be ignored, warned or T'd.
C) If you no call the contact as marginal, but the offensive player trips/stumbles/travels? avoiding and/or getting tangled up in the player on the floor what do you call. Because if you call a foul on defender who went to the floor after contact by the offense, which then put the offense off balance and in a position to be fouled by the player he intially contacted you are in a sticky wicket in terms of needing to explain/justify. Particualrly since all the debate over the video would indicate what one person is seeing is not how other qualified people see it.
