I have a charge, especially since the crew had called a similar play a PC a few minutes earlier.

(btw...I love YouTube. I knew someone would have this posted in a heartbeat)

Murray State beats Tennessee State - YouTube

I have been semi-following this thread since it started. I think Brad and some others have said that they would not have called this a foul because they wouldn't have called it a foul in the first five seconds of any period. I can live with that consistency of call even though I would have called it a charge at any point in the game; everybody knows my mantra: CHARGE IT!! But that is another story.

The problem I see and Brad and others agree with me, is the mindset that some officials have: let the players decide the game. Players DO decide the game, and if this was a foul in the first five seconds of the game it had better damn well be a foul in the last five seconds of the game because players decide the game not the officials.
