Someone explain to me how Murray was defenseless
That's not the argument. It's clear that Murray was targeted for a knockout shot. Dial's helmet hit him in the jaw.

Actually, it is the arguement. There's a growing misconception that H2H contact is always a penalty. Not so.
From the article:
quote:
By rule, you can't hit a defenseless player above the shoulders," Shaw said. "What the determination needs to be is was this a defenseless player and was contact initiated above the shoulders? When we go through video review of it, that's what we'll have to determine. And then you as you break it down, did he lead with the head or lead with the shoulder? From game action, it was a personal foul regardless of how we break it down frame by frame."
Again, how was Murray defenseless?
