Don't work on the women's side but flipped over from the NIT game to watch the last 5 minutes of the UT-Stanford game. Thought the call was correct as it glanced off of Stanford at the last moment. Those "bang-bang" plays are ones that you just have to take your best shot. I tend to believe the very, very close ones are given back to the team that had posession as a general rule. Very rarely do you see a referee call for the alternating posession on these situations.
As for the last shot, it wasn't even close to a foul. The Tennessee players stood close and vertical to challenge the shot. If anything, Stanford should also understand that Tennessee's game winning shot with 1.7 to go could've been called a foul and 1, as the same player that missed the shot for Stanford at the end got away with a pretty solid contact on the Tennessee shooter on the other end. Either way, I thought both were good no calls.
