I'd agree if Fisher wasn't coming forward and chucking his arms at James as if he were throwing a football block. If he had merely held his ground, he very well may have drawn the charge.

No, you have to fade back or put your arms out to absorb the impact, not chuck him with your arms.

He never actually chucked him b/c the collision caused to go backwards.

Huh??? He many not have chucked him through full arm extension but he was definitely chucking himself into James at the time of contact. It was not major, and probably shouldn't have been flagrant, but it is what he did.

That wasn't going to be an offensive foul even without Fisher using his forearm.

And that is only because he was moving/chucking/lunging toward James at the time of contact. Otherwise, he had LGP. If he had merely limited his movement to the side or backwards, it could have been a charge (at least by NCAA and NFHS rules).

Semantics....I was merely referring to the element of the play where he emphasized and unnecessarily increased the magnitude of impact by throwing, chucking, lunging, or whatever verb you think fits, in to James. I don't limit my definition of chucking to just the arms. I don't think it was flagrant level, but he did basically do what I described. Much harder, and it should have been flagrant.
