As stated many times on many different subjects, it may be a regional thing. I live in Virginia, the prominent ref's I run across work in the ACC. I have heard from more than one ACC ref that the play described by MPLAHE is expected to be called as a foul on the defender.

I'll never work in the ACC, however, all the camps I attend in hopes of one day breaking into D2 or D3 are heavily populated with ACC officials holding notepads, so when I'm in those camps, I'm going to make that call.
