Gary Maxwell made the foul call on UNC #5 Ty Lawson for the push in the back of Davidson player. They did not call the foul on UNC #22 Wayne Ellington who made contact w/ the shooter in front of the rim. Coach Williams asked Zelton Steed to check w/ Maxwell because UNC felt it was on #22. (If you saw the game, you saw Steed have a short conference w/ Maxwell and the TV cameras caught Maxwell saying "it was #5 w/ a push from behind").
Regardless of the confusion by the UNC bench or the official scorer, at no time did they go to the monitor to check who the foul was on. Maxwell reported the foul on UNC #5 and remained consistent on that during the discussion.
Keep in mind that the game annoucers/TV crew do not always relay the accurate info. during the broadcast (how many times do they screw up a rule interpretation...almost every game!). They, as well as the official scorer may have done in this instance, oftentimes assume who the foul is on when contact occurs amongst a group of players.
