Don't know why I'm diving back into this...
Austin obviously slid with his cleats up. But if you see the video, Austin's leg only gets pulled to the side of the bag after his cleat gets stuck on Holt's pants as Holt is moving his leg away from the bag. So the order of operations for you math nerds is that 1) he cleats him near the bag, 2) cleat gets stuck on Holt, 3)Holt moves leg, 4) stuck cleat gets pulled as Holt moves
I'm not defending Austin for sliding cleats up. This isn't the 80's anymore and the unwritten rules are different now. But it's not like it was some egregious act.
