If that is the case, what if the same contact happened during a live ball situation? It seems to me, that with the emphasis on contact above the shoulders, then such contact would be ruled a common foul. Thoughts?
The non-fighting reaction is a way to show that the previous call was correct, not that it led to the call or non-call. If the EW player had gotten up and was ready to retaliate with a slap or hit of his own, then I'd look again and see if I'd missed something that happened earlier.

Again, I'm not saying the lack of reaction leads to the call, but using that helps to see if the previous call was correct or not.

BTW... what slap to the face? The G'town player hit the EW player in the chest.

Oh, and I'm a Syracuse fan, and do not like G'town.
