Has anyone by any chance reviewed more of the video of this game? Did this guy step in on other free throws without a call?

A few other things to remember:
1. The calls were obvious.
2. If you want to argue the whole advantage/disadvantage aspect, the kid who violated in the UNCA/Syracuse game also happened to be the one who ended up rebounding the missed free throw. If that's not an advantage then I don't know what is.
I feel the same way Snagwells does on this one: find a play where a kid was 3-4 steps inside the 3-point arc before the ball hit the rim/backboard and it wasn't called and I'll say you have a good point. But on back-to-back days we saw the same situation and it was called the same way.
