Instead, using sound judgment and common-sense, by NOT calling the tech in a situation that did NOT clearly warrant it, we ended up with arguably the best national championship game in the last ten years -- one of the best of all time.

Sometimes we have to take a step back from being 2 inches from the rule book to understand the game and the context in which things happen. No play happens in a vacuum.

With all the dissertations in this thread.........it boils down to your two words,
common sense, which by the way can be used for just about anything.

I don't have to be a final four official to know that a T wasn't warranted in that sitch.
