The ball went out of bounds. According to the announcers (Billy Packer) the official called "force out" and awarded the ball to Louisville.
No foul was called.
I thought that it was either a foul or out of bounds. No such call as "force out" at this level.
Now in my backyard as a kid, we had "force out"s.
Any thoughts?

I truely believe that the "force out" is an employed, accepted and unspoken [by others] method of apology for a missed push that that wasn't enough to call (as a foul), but still caused the offense to lose the ball.
