I am smart enough to know that what you saw might not have been what the official saw. I am smart enough to know anytime you can call a foul with the ball live, you make sure you call a foul like this you try to make sure the ball is live instead of dead. I know that you are so caught up in rulebook you want to prove to the world you know your stuff. Did it ever occur to you that the foul the official called was before the player hit the floor? Hitting the floor does not mean that was why the foul was called.
I also did not see the play, but there was a foul earlier in the game that where I believe the same player pushed down a Washington player, while the ball was in the air. A Utah player made the basket and a foul was called on a Utah player and the fouled Washington player shoot the bonus. So if this happen later in the game, there probably was a lot of pushing of similar kinds of actions. But then again you were not on the game; you were watching the TV from your couch. So I guess you know better than the officials do. Oh I forgot you got video tape.
Peace
