They did a good job and called the intentional for excessive contact WV ball backcourt endline. (box score lists this as a Technical ??)
1st technical Cronin calls to one of the officials the length of the floor, "you MF" after what was a great travel call and WV shoots two and get the ball baseline front court. (this was issued as a team technical to the Bench)
2nd Technical UC player Larry Davis drives to the basket, thinks he gets fouled and has something to say to say to the official directly and is rewarded with a T. Shoot two at the WV basket come back and UC ball front court basline
2nd intentional UC crosses mid court after a backcourt baseline inbound and WV player tackles Yancy Gates for the intentional foul Gates shoots two UC inbounds Mid court.
The box score should not be right on the first foul I listed.
The ball was at the disposal of the inbounder - so the ball is live and in team control when Toloy made contact, there is no reason this would be a technical with live ball contact, and Toyloy stays in the game.

When they showed that first intentional on ESPN last night, they kept referring to it as a technical. All the while, the thrower has the ball so the ball is clearly live.
