Yeah, maybe. But you don't give him a pass because of what he was trying to do, you penalize him because of what he DID do.
JR says he was turning and didn't have time to avoid the hit. Questionable. But it was Brown's choice to stick his leg out and turn that way to make the contact, he needs to be accountable for that action when Roszival had no chance to avoid that contact. It was Brown's fault that he didn't turn far enough for a full on body-body hit, or maybe Brown realized he'd have a higher chance of hurting himself throwing a hit like that.
Rome got 4 SCF games with his questionable late hit, but it was a clean hit otherwise. If Brown was some no name bum, he'd get the same treatment. I bet Shanny turns the other cheek.
