I agree with mick. Many times, coaches and fans don't see and players don't realize that they've taken a step toward the shooter or flicked a wrist and fouled.

canuckref's signature is also correct in that many officials anticipate a foul in this situation, and blow the whistle, only to realize to late that it wasn't a foul.
