It was a good call. It was also very strong of Mike Wood not to whack Jim Harrick, even though he did everything he possibly could to get one in the last 15 seconds. I'm sure Mike knows that the call and the no-call were necessary for him to continue to work in the tournament.

Yes, and IMHO, that part is unfortunate. I understand it, but I would hate to have to weigh making a call with my advancement in the tournament. I think that is the cause of some bad no-calls late in the games in college. I don't think you want to make a call to decide a game, but sometimes by not calling a foul you are doing just that. Overall, I have felt that the officiating has been excellent in every game I have watched. It seems much better than it was last year, though I am sure that is just my perception.
