Call the foul
rookie,
You were being paid to officiate the entire game, not just the first 31 minutes and 50 seconds (assuming 8 minute quarters). You stated that the foul was obvious. If you are thinking that you cheated the team that you called it against because the other team was able to shoot a free throw to win, what do you think the team that won would have thought if you had passed on the foul because time was about to expire. They would feel as if they had been cheated.
Since both teams were going to feel cheated, you might as well go ahead and do the proper thing...CALL THE FOUL!
