Good comments. Just to be clear both officials mentioned when the LJ brought it up that the defender definitely fell down and I told them if they felt strongly about their call then we can definitely let their call stand. I told them flat out I would not unilaterally waive their flag and that it was a crew decision. Like I said it became a rules interp discussion more than anything.

I think your crew got it right. According to what was sited, B fell making a play on the ball, B has just as much right to the ball as A.
For those of you advocating DPI, would you call OPI if A was making a play on the ball and he fell and tripped B who would otherwise have intercepted or had a good chance of intercepting ?
