Just curious what you guys think of the last 30 seconds, 3 non-calls by a very veteran crew. A lot going on from about the 20 minute mark:

I tend to think that it all happened in a place where none of the 3 had a great angle, and they all passed as it was unclear what happened. Then on the last play with KU dunking, they passed on that since there were a couple train wrecks at the prior end with no whistle.
Seems to me that Wilson helped the TT big to go down in the paint, as you can tell his body is turned, although Wilson may have also simply lost his balance as the TT big backed down and held on for dear life.
Then on the dribble drive, I think that there probably should have been a whistle, as the KU defender didn't have legal position when the TT dribbler got into the paint, and even though he had no where to go and seemed to be losing his footing a bit, there was a little bump that helped him go down.
If you've got a strong ball handler and any contact from a defender not in legal guarding position, probably have to give the benefit of the doubt to the dribbler. But again, none of the 3 had a good look.
The TT big man going down just prior muddied the picture and the concentration of the officials. It was hard to tell real time if he was backing down the KU defender and just had the chair pulled on him, or whether he was in fact pulled down.
Interesting scenario. If anybody has an opinion, please weigh in.
