The play occurred with less than 30 seconds to play.
Georgia players were chasing the ball, trying to foul.
The Georgia bench was screaming "Foul! Foul!"
The Goeorgia player pushed the player from the center of the lane, into the bench.
The ball was near the center circle.
There was no effort being made by the fouled player to "get open."
What Drake is saying, and I concur with him, is that this foul was an effort, off the ball, to stop the clock. With all the information included above, how could it not be an intentinal foul?
I think Mike Wood made the proper call.
