Flirting with the timeline & defensive pressure is always a tough play in real time.

I haven't seen the video since last night, so my memory may be a little foggy. But I remember thinking I would have called the first contact as a hand check. But he obviously ruled it incidental no call. Which then lead to the whole series of backcourt non violations.

For the record, he nailed the no call on the possible violations.

But my point remains, if you let the first couple of contacts go, its hard to justify penalizing the defense on the one play he decides to actually not foul.
