Thanks, Jurassic and Lotto. That's how I interpreted the play also, BUT...
..this was NCAA game, refs counted the basket, Team A wins by 1.
Also, there was no monitor for review. It was a "bang-bang" play and very difficult to get right without review. I had to watch the replay several times to come to the no basket conclusion. You really needed the slow motion to see the touch by the defense vs. the end of game light vs. position of the ball.
Granted, as a ref, you always want to get this correct, but it was a tough play.
And I'm not trying to absolve the refs of all responsibility, but I think one of many lessons learned here is for the schools...have a courtside monitor if at all possible.

Was there any question as to who actually touched it?
