I'm just talking about this one call because when he blew his whistle he looked like he regretted calling it. It looked like from my angle with my butt on the couch a jump ball. As a Tech fan I was biting my lip, as a ref I was thinking about the times that I've blown my whistle and cussed myself all the way to the reporting area  .

Understood - I think we can all have a good discussion on this play.
If it's the play I think you're talking about, I think Schensher (sp?) held the ball with his right hand (poss. jump ball if Gordon comes back to the ground) but I think he fouled Gordon with his left hand - lower, around the hip or stomach.
I wish I had a replay of this, because I want to know when the whistle came - at the ball contact or at the push. I know I've been bailed out (bigtime) before when I've anticipated a call, whistle, and then thankfully a push in the back or something.
The big thing to take from this - anticipate the play, not the call!
