of what I saw was simply a player, moving hard to his left and then taking a difficult jump shot while still not fully squared up and leaning to the left and falling a bit back. When he came down, he was in an awkward position and on landing he fell slightly sideways and falling, he slid on his butt backwards on the floor. I didn't conclude that either Wolf or Gayle Jr was in his evolving landing space. It wasn't a typical jump straight up, squared jump shot, it was a laterally moving jump shot. Anyway, that's the way I saw and interpreted what I saw based on the tv angles available.
I told my wife you were generally a nice guy and she said thanks. She's even more pi**ed now that I've showed her the replay of the Oklahoma big flagrantly pushing Golden to the floor on Michigan's last possession and not having a foul called on the Okla player with still time on the clock.
