I will agree about the "philosophy" call, however this board has had discussion "ad nauseum" (to borrow Chuck's line) about the "right of the defender to any spot on the floor that he obtains first, EVEN if it is directly under the basket!" And how "the top NCAA guys call it the right way"
In light of the play that began this thread, this call is not consistent with the rule.
Let me be the first to say I have kicked many a play in my time. I have seen many plays on tape that I thought initially were good calls, that after tape review, I would change. I'm willing to admit imperfection. Let's afford the "big boys" the same right.
