So to categorically say it was an "Unbelievable, bad call" may be a stretch. Just a thought.

He didn't call a foul because the saw a slight touch by the MSU player.
He called a foul because he was too fair away and he saw the KU player foul.
#2 stepped toward the thrower, making a completely legal move. There was slight contact as you say but it was not a foul and should not have been called.
It's unbeleivable and a bad call because he had no business making it, because the trail was right there and because the trail passed on it. I would bet he didn't get a strong grade on the call.
