Not saying I would do it in real time, but I think I'd regret not doing it afterwards.
I wouldn't regret it. Calling a FF1/intentional there would open a gigantic can of worms. Do we start calling FF1/intentional fouls when we see a kid clamp down on the arm of an opponent so he can't get a rebound? If it's a Stevie Wonder call that' really egregious by all means do it. This isn't a Stevie Wonder call as evidenced by the fact some members didn't even notice it on the video at first glance.

The only regret is the crew not catching the hold when it took place.
