I thing Coach Romar clearly knows what type of player he is as he rushed out onto the court and ran straight to #1 to pull him out of there. Then after this play, there was another intentional foul on UW and #1 purposefully gave an elbow to #12 after the whistle - again not addressed by the officials - he should have been tossed with his 2nd T.
The WSU/UW highlight shows 3 plays in which WSU #10 ends up on the ground. The first was called a foul on UW and the other 2 were no-called. It could be argued that WSU #10 was flopping after incidental contact on the last 2 plays.

In the UW/ASU game after ASU #12 got intentionally foul (great call) he accidentally collided with another UW player. The 2nd UW player did not throw an elbow. Looked more like UW player contact was with his right shoulder.
