Regardless of the probability of the shot being made, IMHO you have to call the foul here or else you are penalizing the team that was attempting the miracle shot. It MIGHT have gone in...probably not.
Lets face it, if they are fouled on a shot from half court or beyond, then the real problem is with the defense making such a stupid mistake. In this situation the coach should've pounded it into the player's heads to keep hands off. If they didn't do that why should we penalize the shooting team?
As for poor ratings after a game like that, I believe the coach deserves the poor ratings for allowing that foul to occur in the first place.
My two cents worth!
