Exactly. Pat Summitt of Tennessee was quoted on ESPN today as saying - "If such a foul occurs in the first three minutes of a game, do you call it? Yes!". That tells you exactly the position that the official was in. If he calls the foul, all of the Baylor people are pissed off. If he doesn't call the foul, then the Tennessee people are pissed off. Can't win- just take the crap now no matter what you do, and then listen to the second-guessing for the rest of your career.
