I think he is defenseless, but that does not mean any hit on him is a foul.

I think the NCAA has made this so narrow, that any hit we think should stand. I understand why it was called, but I do not think it was a ultimately correct. But I do get it in this day and age.

I do agree that this does appear to be shoulder hit in the chest. It just stood out to me when looking at the game as a possible call that I was wondering what the BIG will think about this one.
