That was a foul on white 3 and should have been called. The stupidity of defenders in that situation always boggles my mind. You have the guy trapped in the corner and you just need to hold your ground and keep your hands up but instead you push and grab and turn an advantage to a foul in many of these situations. Just as we shouldn't hesitate to reward good defense, we also shouldn't hesitate to penalize bad defense that results in a foul. Shame on the C for not making a call there. It looks to me as if he is visually more focused on the offensive player than refereeing the defense.

Just to be clear, the shove at the end is beside the point. The ball handler is repeatedly fouled to the point where he can't maintain his pivot foot and then loses his balance. These things didn't happen on their own. They happened because of the contact by the defense. I don't see how that cannot be a foul.
