Foul? What foul? A foul is a foul only if I call it a foul. If I'm the Lead on that play, I'm not calling anything on that. Who gained an advantage? Nobody. Who was in a position to obtain possesion of the ball and score in the time remaining? Nobody. Was there contact? Of course, but there was plenty of contact in that game that was not called a foul.
I'm a little surprised that a foul was called, but I'm even more surprised that the officials got together, looked at the replay and decided to put .2 on the clock and award free throws. They got what all officials don't get....a second chance to make a correct call....and they BLEW IT.
