the mantra in the NBA now is: "get the call right". this is an end of game/game changing call...IMHO, BOTH C and T got it right.
Well, I'm not thrilled with both the T and C making a call here (and I'd guess neither are they), but it's a fantastic call. And a bit of a delay is appropriate here in determining if the contact is incidental or illegal -- they also have to check the defender's feet to ensure they're outside the arc.
