Judge,

Take a deep breath and relax. There is no conspiracy here, and I agree with your opinion that the foul should not have been called. It's really simple.

The contact that was called a foul happened before the expiration of time and was blown by an official. Before going to the monitor, a decision was made in the huddle that a foul had occurred before time expired, which a determination would have to be made about the amount of time that remained after the foul. The officals then went to the monitor to make the timing determination.

First of all, don't listen to the news reports. Second of all, don't think there was a grand conspiracy being covered up by the NCAA. The calling official made a judgement call that a foul was warranted, and the proper procedure was followed from that point forward. I think the coaches could have been made aware of the situation before the monitor review, and I'm sure this was discussed in the postgame review and the followup with the officiating supervisor. But that hardly suggests that Baylor deserves some kind of recourse as an aggrieved party.

You can question the judgement of the foul call (as I and many others have), but your efforts to create some kind of illegal coverup goes a little too far.
