So to categorically say it was an "Unbelievable, bad call" may be a stretch. Just a thought.
Still I don't think I would reach that far to get it when it is that close. I think you have to let the trail live and die with that.

I believe that it was a foul.

I have not seen a link this morning, but last night I think I saw what you folks say.
Throughout this discussion, it has not been mentioned that #2 was guarding someone else and paying no attention to the player that was tripped.
Contact was made on the back or side? of #2's leg and the player that tripped must have some responsibility for running too close to,
and from behind #2, who was playing good, legal defense when the contact was made.
I've got incidental contact forced by the tripped player from behind.
