No call on the pc, IMO.

This is one of times when a defender oversells a possible PC foul, and it ends up costing him.

Overselling didn't necessarily cost him ... the dumb retaliation bump did

These two teams have a recent history of bad blood. Given that I would be inclined to call the PC foul to prevent things from escalating, even though I think the contact is minimal, the defensive player clearly embellished the severity of the contact, and in most situations I would have a no call. I guess you would say my PC call would be game specific, not necessarily play specific.

No PC foul for me either.

If it were that kind of situation, I'd call it a block. I'm calling the offense for a foul they didn't commit because the defender is being an ass.

I have a PC, especially given the back story of their rivalry. The defender didn't do anything wrong/illegal on the initial contact and embellishing doesn't mean no foul was committed. If A1 is enough of a knucklehead to drop a shoulder into someone in that situation (+12, < 2:00) he deserves what he gets.

If such a thing was a POE, this is a great time to whip out the PC/T-for-embellishing double foul.

Think of the great calls made in the NHL where a penalty is called, along with a second one for diving.
