Actually, the rules are enforced so that placing your hands on a persons back is a foul, but you can place your elbow in the small of their back to “check” them. An arm loosely draped around someones waist is maybe a foul, but no reason to leg whip said person....PUNK MOVE...you must be Heat fan. No other reason you could think that or write that.
Elbow near the head. Arm around the waist. The ball is behind the ref and he's shielded from seeing what Rondo is doing.
Rondo with a handful of jersey, pulling Wade to the floor (Wade is off balance), and still shielded from the ref. Wade never made leg contact with Rondo. He did wrap his right arm around Rondo as he was halfway to the ground. Rondo should have been ejected, fined, and suspended on top of the injury he brought on himself.
