I don't know about "Right in the L's Lap." He looks pretty straightlined to me, and that's what I think leads to an incorrect call. From his POV, I don't think he can gauge the amount of contact. W3 makes a very smart and legal defensive play, but is trying to draw the charge on P3 the whole way (btw, these are the same O and D players as in Play #1). Now there's nothing illegal about the defender falling backwards and embelishing a bit, but there has to be sufficient contact to cause displacement, and I don't think that happens, I think the offensive player pulls up short of significant contact.
