Was watching a little of the UNC vs. VT basketball game, on ESPN last night, before I had to leave for my game.

Mike Patrick (ESPN Sunday Night Football) was the T.V. commentator.

Player A1 was dribbling right in front of the T, with player B1 guarding. A1 made a move to the basket, on the T's side of the semi-circle. A1 pushed B1 with his off hand. B1 went to the floor. The T had no call.
The C came in with a player control foul.

Mike Patrick said something like, "That's a foul, you gotta get that."
I've seen these plays with no call, maybe because A1 pushed and then backed away from the basket. The disadvantage was created when A1 pushed off...but then negated when he backed off from the push. (The C might have thought A1 created space...therefore could get a uncontested shot off...the T might have thought differently)

In light of a recent discussion here...I was just wondering if tomegun, or any official for that matter, would approve of C's call?

I'll Edit here for the time and score in the game:
There was just over 3 minutes left in a one point game.
