In the context of the entire game, this was not a good call.
I actually like Bilas and have always thought he is the most knowledgable about officiating.
His best comments during this post-game were pointing out that:
1) the contact when Nova was driving for the winning basket was more severe than the last foul.
2) when 75 feet from the bucket and less than a couple seconds left, the contact has no advantage
3) if you can ignore the foul, you can ignore the toe (EDGING) the line and let's go to overtime
I'd bet my left nut that if you asked that official if he liked that call, he'd say no.
