Philosophy question (video)...

There is minimal contact with the body, and the slap at the ball doesn't look like it got arm. Play on. Would your answer be different if the ball bounced to a red player who laid it in? I'm still not sure I would have a call.

Sorry, you just can't tell that one way or the other from that video. We tend to default to assuming a conclusion that opposes the call as made in the video. I'm giving the official the benefit of doubt on this one. Short of getting the arm at all, there was no foul. I don't think he made that up. So, that leaves it to the question of individual possession consequence or team possession consequence.
