The call in question is at about the 1:45:30 mark... not a good angle on the initial view, but the replay at 1:46:15ish shows it clearly.

Also, white coach should've been whacked before the free throws for the foul... he was on the floor, across midcourt, nearly all the way to the black team's free throw line.

There was some shaky stuff in the game: three arm swings on a closely guarded dribble, quick change of arm --three more swings, resulting in a 5 second call....but that wasn't against Trgovich's team. Shaky held ball late went against him.

Wouldn't put it in the HOF as an officiated gem, but Trgo's claims were preposterous.

I can't load 2:00 YouTube videos at work. What happens at that point?

Great get! However, that crew seem to struggle for much of the game.
EC coach should have been whacked earlier and I'm guessing his kids would have played better if he was tossed.
Worse handling of overtimes by EC coach I've ever seen, because he made his kids hold the ball to get one shot; and for the sake of the game of basketball, I'm glad it didn't work!
The EC coach needs to borrow a page from the Seton Hall coach: though being a bated by the media; he owned his loss to Arkansas.
Glad EC coach resigned; because he doesn't realize that holding the ball for nearly two overtimes is HIM not allowing the kids to determine the outcome.
Don't know who this Cox guy is, but I'm not sure why he'd even dignify these people with a meeting... perhaps it's in his job description somewhere?
