Dead ball personal foul in NCAA game

Scott Thornley just called the fifth personal foul against Utah's #50 Neville with 4:39 remaining in the 2nd half for pushing an opponent to the floor AFTER the ball passed through the basket for a Utah score and BEFORE anyone from Washington had the ball at their disposal.

If I were the Utah coach, I would be upset. I don't disagree that the action would constitute a foul during a live ball, but the rule is to ignore the contact unless intentional or flagrant when it is dead.

Since players were allowed along the lane during the subsequent FTs at the other end, it is clear that an intentional foul was not called.
