That was a pretty good interview. Isn't it interesting how the Pros philosophys are similars to ours?

* We don't care who wins

* We are just trying to get as many plays correct as we can (we are not going to get them all correct)

* Fans don't like us...they just want their team to win

* Be 100% sure on a foul...don't guess

* Anticipate the play...not the foul

He did say GENERALLY "contact" is the reason we call a foul...not the result of the contact. (i.e. flopping)

When would the result of a foul be a reason to call a foul if you were going to pass on the original contact?

answer: If the player traveled as a result of the contact were as he might not have if it were not for the contact.
