Yeah, this came at less than 1 minute to play, team B up by 2. Unfortunately neither talking to the players or the 54 fouls we called had much effect. Both teams were being physical, and neither had the skill to play through the contact - didn't leave us a lot of choice but to call the obvious disadvantage......
