I agree. If there was a foul, I have 2 shots not three. Barry moved in such a way that the contact was minimized rather than "taking one for the team" in order to "sell the call" as suggested by Reggie Miller and others. But this should not let the defender off the hook if the contact hindered the shot, which I think it did.

New question: If the Pierce/Hamilton play is a game deciding last second play, would/should Salvatore have made the same call?
