In fact, I would also be willing to bet that if you polled a group of D1 men's officials, you would find a pretty even split amongst those calling this a foul and those letting it go as incidental, and that a majority of those who think it is a foul would not come and get this from the L because they would not feel they have a clear enough look to come that far on a call.
You can say that you disagree with this being a "crew saving" call, but just because someone has it as such a call doesn't make it hyperbole. Saying it is hyperbole just detracts from whatever other points you were making.

And -- if it was correct, it was a crew saver, imo. Can't tell from the video (at least on my screen).
