#2- This one is a foul no question about that. It is however only a block. No need to think twice about it. Not even necessary to have a conversation about it, yes it is a hard foul but the was nothing excessive or malicious about this foul.
On another note, what is the deal with the mechanics. I did not see any preliminary signals on either foul and did not see any communication on the double whistle. How does anyone know that there was not a multiple foul or which defender the foul was being called on?

When a defender hits ball first, subsequent contact may be incidental but it is not an absolute. White 32 follow through seemed to me to make pretty solid contact with shooter. There has to be a call there--video 1 im talking about. It isnt flagrant or intentional but it is a foul. That's my opinion and wanted you to know...thx
