First of all, blindzebra is right on the money: how would you have called the same situation halfway through the first quarter? Call it the same in OT.

I also wanted to comment on this statement you made:

Your call, as an official, does not "decide the game".

We often hear "let the players decide the game" in these types of situations. I say that if a B1 chooses to foul A1 late in a close game, the players have decided the game. It's your job as the official, to call the game based on the player's actions. It goes back to being consistant throughout the game. If it's a foul five seconds into the game, it's a foul with five seconds left in the game, too!
