Calls that may end a game

Hi all:

Do not know how many of you are NBA fans but last nights game between the Spurs / Lakers is the premise for my post.

At the end of the game the Spurs Brent Barry attempted a 3 point shot. He at first faked the shot and got the Lakers Derek Fisher airborn but instead of following through with the shot Barry went to the side. There was definitely contact and most of the analysts agreed it was a Foul but not something that should be called to possibly end the game. (Barry would have had 3 free throws)

About 2-3 yrs ago there was a contoversial balk call to end a college world series game. It centered around F1 not coming to a stop/pause.

So my question?

As baseball officials will you overlook something (Excluded in this is balls / strikes) if it's a game ender as Joey Crawford did in last night NBA game.

here is an example:

R2 base hit to right field. 3rd base coach waves R2 home. F2 is just about to receive the ball (ie' the ball is right near home plate and F2 is ready to catch it on the bounce) and blocks the plate as R2 comes sliding in and F2 tags the runner for out number 3.

According to the new rules this is OBS, however, is it a BLATANT OBS in which to end the game on?

In a nutshell what's your philiosphy on a game ending call.
