Rob -

Just my two cents worth since I wasn't there.

In the college arena it probably would have been let go because of the score, time remaining, and the fact that players at that level are usually allowed (and can handle) more contact.

With that said, at the high school level (and yes in our area we have AAA schools playing at very high levels) I started including a statement in my pre-game that we would referee the game all the way to the ending buzzer. I included this because I have had more than one game go to pieces in the waning minutes and seconds because the officiating got loose after the game had been decided and there was still time on the clock.
