He said as much to the Illinois HC after the game. He knows he kicked it.

“Underwood said after the game the official told him the foul shouldn't have been called, and the coach wondered if there was a personal motivation to calling the foul.

"[O'Connell] told me he should never have called it," Underwood said. "Maybe it's personal, I don't know. To call it like that, when a kid has a head of steam going 100 mph? We all talk about health and safety of the student-athletes. Come on.”

I have no opinion on whether or not to call is right or wrong. But I do have an opinion on trusting coaches with second hand accounting of what officials supposedly told them. Especially when coaches use fanboy language about making it personal.

My personal experience is that coaches are less than 100% honest when relaying such information.
