You do know that targeting, by rule, can mean leading with the hands/arms, right?
I mean, Orgeron even says it's the rule:
quote:
"I don't think that targeting should have been called. I think he tried to pull off and I think it's a very stiff penalty," Orgeron said of White at a foundation luncheon on Tuesday, via ESPN. "He did not try to hit him with his head. He put his hands in front, but it's the rule, so we have to move on."

That's not even close to true. White's right arm completely whiffs, and his left arm immediately collapses into his own body upon touching Fitz. The main/initial force of the hit happens when White's upper body (including his helmet) hits Fitz's upper body (including his helmet). White doesn't even extend hit left arm until after that point.
I guarantee that is what the officials saw in the review, and that's why they couldn't/didn't overturn it.
