Mark - Actually just transferred here from NYC so wasn't there last year.
As far as ending the game, the score was close (3 points, 26 seconds). The reason it caused a bit of a stir was they were trying to foul to stop the clock. I don't have any problem with that and will usually be able to identify what a team is doing enough to call the quick touch fouls rather than let it get too physical.
The issue here was the kid went straight to this overly physical bear-hug with a player who did not nor ever (on that play) had the ball. To be honest, I think in the spirit of the game I wouldn't call an intentional had the player who was fouled had the ball.
But given the ball was just another 2-3 large strides away as well as other Team A players in the vacinity of the ball who could've fouled the ballhandler, I am satisfied with my call and appreciate the thoughts contributed.
