At the end of this clip in the "post game" Sean McDonough actually explains that the bump pushed the player OOB and that's why Donnato called the foul. But not surprisingly Bilas denies that rationale completely and says "you can make any technical justification you want for some of these calls, but the truth is at that stage of the game when you're 80 feet from the basket, that's one where there was no foul and you didn't see the foot on the line."

I think the implication his "some of these calls" line makes bothers me the most. Arrogant know-it-all.
