That's the same ref who forgot he had legs.

Yeah, there was some bad reffing that game. No doubt about that!

Not possible, that is the first contact with Simmons, watch the video. His arm does come down right after that and pin him, but that is after the hook.

...

I posted a screenshot of the exact frame of first contact and also posted the link to the video for anybody to confirm who wants to. I've also drawn your attention to it multiple times.

Good breakdown on the Mitchell offensive foul. Ronnie Nunn, former 19 year ref, commented on it, and agrees it should have been a no-call.

I posted the video in slow motion and the screen shot from the first contact. You can see the reach around before Simmons arm comes down. The picture I just posted obviously Simmons arm is in the air above and not pinning him. He does after and hold on while Mitchell spins back. You are seeing what you want to see I guess.
