Could be I see the contact for the call after the ball is through. I still don't know what red did (as white was hooking him) there, and then white goes after red (was something said? maybe). The whole set of events was started and accelerated by white.

I don't have a problem with a DPF called, as it's probably expected. However by rule, and the letter of the law, the contact happened when the ball was dead. In the end I think the red player got the short end of the stick.

It has been discussed when contact started/occurred but not sure what that has to do with anything. Could say there was contact 5 minutes ago between the two. Aren't we really talking about when the official blew his whistle? And to me, he blew it when the ball was dead. I think he picked up the severest portion of the contact late and considered that the ball was still in the air/net and therefore reacted with the double foul mechanic. Or maybe he did see the contact when the ball was live but there was lag time until his whistle and he gave the double foul mechanic intentionally. He then approaches the players and signals the double T. Not enough info to critique to harshly. I would have liked to see either C or T come in there much quicker.

No, it has nothing to do with when the whistle blows.

So, what is "it"?

Don't think so. Only Camron can truly tell us. Maybe deecee as that person disagreed with Camron. Possibly Rich who last questioned my use of "it". But not MD. Faith No More indeed.

I think you could justify it as either (personal or technical) because there was contact both before and after the ball became dead. Just because the whistle came after doesn't mean that the contact that triggered the call did. Or, perhaps the official saw the initial contact occurring before the ball became dead, was going to pass, but decided to call it after it escalated. He had a choice in determining what was the actual foul. In this case, I don't think he'd be wrong either way.
