Hopefully I described it well enough so it can be discussed. I believe the annoucers for the game said that the defensive player and his coach were arguing that was Clark's shot, which it clearly wasn't. Unsporting tech?
Naw, that one's easy. Just agree with the coach and his defensive player that it was a free throw. Then call goaltending during a FT, count the point and then give 'em the appropriate "T" too.

Same rule in both NFHS and NCAA.
