Well, that would be absurd, not protecting an airborne shooter to the floor.

I'm sure he'll be moseying along shortly to give his rationale.

Why did that philosophy not apply here?

Good block?

Because the contact was incidental to a clean block of the basketball. In my case the defender took a wild swing, missed the ball, and knocked the shooter to the floor.

Context matters. You sound like a coach who says "the same thing happened at the other end of the floor and you didn't call a foul."

If there was contact, it was not a clean block.

"Incidental contact" which knocks the shooter to the floor is ok, but a "wild swing" which knocks the shooter to the floor is not?

There most definitely can be a clean block even if there's contact.

If the contact puts the shooter on the floor?
