Gauze in the nose, as you reference, or the guard falling to the ground, and I might call it intentional. NO REF is gonna miss that kind of contact. Unbelievable....

You call a foul every time a body hits the floor or a guy holds his nose? Reallly? You are able to see that EVERY time?? Plueesse.

NO, I don't call a foul every time a body hits the fllor, but when there's a close guard I am watching closely to see what causes that body to fall on the floor. If I see you "running through" Or putting your "arms held high", believe me, if you cause that fall, I'll see it and I'll call it. And knowin g your attitude, I might very well call it intentional. Pulleeezzz (note spelling).
