[QUOTE="Deleted member 29907, post: 1450957"] Yeah, normally refs are calling that. I think the contact was fairly minor and was after he landed and my guess is the ref thought it was the classic 'flop on the 3 to get a call' play - which so many players tend to do in key circumstances. Hopefully the refs are getting numb to this, but in this case that may have worked against him. I would have expected a call. Edit: After watching the game highlights again - it looks like at 5:04 Harper actually grabs Giorgi's shoulder and pulls him down - perhaps the ref thought Harper was trying to initiate a foul by grabbing and pulling Giorgi down on him. So I just changed my opinion - no call was appropriate. [/QUOTE]
