He could of but that is not what the rule says or requires. And if we are not using rules, who is to say that would not be UNR if the player went tumbling head over heals?

I have stated this before, I do not understand the rules that apply here. Because if the player was within an arm length of the ball handler, I would have seen this as legal. I know I had similar blocks in my games this year (not quite as violent) but players laid out and no one said we should have thrown a flag.

That's my only point. So I wasn't making a commentary about what the rule should or shouldn't be nor whether the call was correct or not. Thanks.
