Remember what may seem to you to be nothing major as far as contact may be more severe to her. In this scenario I am giving the benefit of the doubt to F4.

This can and will be debated ad naseum.
Bottom line it is the umpire on the field evaluating the situation and making his call.
I have no problem with the decision made on the field.
