my opinion is, this was called primarily because the defender had more than enough time to pull out of the hit. but chose not to, and took the shot.

If they called it because they thought he had time to pull out after the tip ball then that's crap. That's not the new rule. They could call a personal foul, but not targeting. Not even close to targeting.

"More than enough time" -- in slow motion, maybe. The player had just tipped the ball a mere instant before the hit. Play was still live, hit was on the numbers and he used mostly shoulder. That's as clean as it gets.

The call and ejection were both terrible and wrong.
