They do say call the obvious. If this play was called, I think it would have made the sports headlines.
The sports headline would only be the point out how weird the violation was. I doubt people would be up in arms if the call was made...that's a rule all basketball fans know. You just usually don't have it happen 60 or so feet down the court.

Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
