Both kids crash to the floor, ball doesn't go in, and the horn sounds. Guys on the floor have a no-call and the half ends.
Coach for B-team has a few words with the officials as he heads to the locker-room asking for an explanation and is obviously not happy. I am too far into the stands to hear the response.
My question is should this have been a player control even though it occurred right before the buzzer? B1 was stationary and did not move to cut-off A1's attempt at the lay-up and he took the full contact in his chest.
This may be a HTBT situation, but based on my description, what do you have?

Don't not call something just because you know that the horn is imminent. If the contact happened before the buzzer, and it's something you would call without the complication of the horn sounding, then still call it now. Quite frankly, not calling it is unethical.
I've got a PC foul, with an expectation of time still on the clock.
