In Reply to: Officials: 8 Tony Padilla, 30 Lamar Simpson, 61 Will Howard. posted by mh on March 22, 2024 at 09:47:14
was Lamar Simpson who made the call, based on slow motion replay I saw. He apparently assumed that there was body contact but wasn't in a position to see the "non contact" space between their bodies that the video showed. But he didn't raise his arm signifying a foul till the shooter hit the floor. He had to be just guessing on the call that there was some body contact that caused the fall. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.
The ref on the left side with a clear view and perfect angle didn't make a call. I assume that was Will Howard. It didn't appear to be Padilla who is a bit older and who is one of the top officials.
