You Make The Call

Even Ray Charles can see that the contact by the defender (who did not have LGP) caused the dribbler to fall and loose the ball.

It is an NCAA absolute if the contact caused the falling. It is not an absolute if you feel the player was off balance and fell. Now you can disagree, but every time someone falls does not make it a foul. I am saying an argument can be made. I guess you have never seen a player try to get somewhere they can't and fall down. I see it all the time and why I had to see the video to be more confident in a foul. Unlike some people when I watch video I watch it to see why a call was made or not made. In the real world we get one shot at the call and that is it. I know I have missed calls before, not sure you know what that means listening to you here.
