This has the floor view of the play at least....not a great angle. The play was a total mess though.

I think this is a foul. I think the official got straightlined and did not call anything, which is understandable but also not an excuse.

The mess was the inadvertent whistle/phantom OOB call....and the 5 minute discussion that ensues. Just a braintfart by McCall. Sh*t happens.

I feel like his body language says he did not want to call a foul in that situation. And if he did he would have got shit about it. But to me, this was a foul, at least from the angle we saw, and unfortunately for CSU, that would have sent a kid to the line to win the game. But hey, don't foul.

This to me is where "Let them decide the game" goes wrong. We are so eager to not make calls at the end of the game, we end up putting a team at a disadvantage.

Good call on the "body language" observation. Almost like an "oh shit, i wonder if i can sell an OOB call here and we can review it." lol

"Let them decide the game"
People (and some officials) don't realize that players can decide the game by deciding to foul.
