I watched Michigan/Indiana and they made a comment at the end that the crew doing that game was the same crew that did Cincy/UConn the night before.
O'Brien made a comment that they talked with them before the IU/UM game and the crew said that is not how they wanted the game to end but he had to call the foul. 0.7 seconds left.
I don't like that some officials will say swallow the whistle at the end of halves...my opinion is I officiate a full game...no matter the time or the score. Just because the game is close and winding down shouldn't be a cue for players to foul hard and get away with it.
