Did anyone react to that no-call? Did anyone other than refs who've been trained to "watch the shooter come down" even notice the VT player jump slightly into Allen's path? The kid took a desperation shot and he isn't getting any help unless he ends up bleeding on the court.

Get the obvious.

Desperation? That's normal 3-point range. I know a Mid-Atlantic college supervisor who got on a crew for not calling a foul on a half-court heave at the end of a game. He said the crew needs to have the courage to make that call.
