You are right either way the discussion goes. Defense = "that is what I said", Offense = "I said I could buy that" I guess our videos are of different angles because the video I'm looking at clearly has the offensive player displacing the defender and then using his left arm to keep the defender from getting into a 3/4 post defense position. That is the first action that I see could be called a foul.

I guess you just interpreted my post differently. This play has already been discussed in a Facebook group which had some members advocating a double foul. My cop out statement was more to say call the first illegal contact in one's judgement.

And FYI, if my assignor said straight up he had a hold on the defender, I wouldn't try to rationalize an answer choice. I'd own up to having a foul on the defender and be being wrong.
