Duke vs. BC
I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I agree with JRutledge and the like that it wasn't a foul. The referee(s) had to have a lot of courage/training to not call that foul. It seems to me that not only did Williams jump straight up, but when he alighted (rulebook word), he was near the block. When he landed, he was underneath the basket. That tells me that the offense created that contact (at least 95% of it.) The guard was driving to the basket, ran into an immovable/dense object and caromed off of him. Simple physics.
One play that hasn't been brought up is the play right before JJ missed his only FT (late in the game). That foul COULD HAVE been deemed intentional (excessive force). If that would have happened in the NBA, I think that a flagrant would have been called and a fine would be handed down.
