OK, I'll address this. 1) its funny how some will argue its ok for a screener to get knocked to the 3rd row with a no call, and yet when a player runs into an opponent at the end of the game they want a foul. ( DJ, I'm not suggesting you favor this view about the screener). 2) the Offensive player made contact well after the pass and never went through the Defender. 3) the officials were not calling this type of PUSH a foul earlier in the game, so they shouldn't call this a foul in the last min. of the game. I will admit the Defender did a great job of trying to sell the PUSH foul.

Bart, you left out door #4, which was DJ's point, I think.
-4)the officials were calling this type of PUSH a foul earlier in the game, but they were NOT consistent in calling the same play the same way at the end of the game.
I hate to say it, but I'm starting to wonder too why everybody seems to be putting their whistles away at the end of the games. I was always taught that consistancy was better.
