I am not too concerned about whether Georgia still had a shot to win the game.
I firmly believe that the foul in the lane area is exactly what the NCAA and supervisors around the country want called. Regardless of score and/or time of the game that is a guideline post play foul in the lane area. I would say that the player should be smarter and play better defense so he doesn't foul the player, unless that is what he was told to do. Because the foul wasn't called immediately in the lane area the play progressed out toward the 3 point line and into the bench resulting in an intentional foul. There is no question that the foul was intentional when it progressed this far. However, if it was called earlier, as per the post play guidelines and points of emphasis on rough play for the NCAA, the intentional foul would never had occurred.
