Typical response from most officials, too big of an ego to admit mistakes. This call was a huge mistake, and if you do not understand why, you need to get in touch with some refs who have to the big time and ask why.
I can give you an example of a play that never gets called at the end of a game becuase it is not affecting the play. Oone second left and team a has an inbounds at opposite end of floor and needs a basket to tie or win. It is a throw in after a made basket so they can run the baseline.they set up in one corner and run towards the other end, all the while a screen is set inbounds where the person guarding the throw in player will run over them as they move with the passer. I have seen this trick used many times in big mens tournamnets game, and guess what, even if the payler flats runs over the screener nothing is ever called. Some refs understand the sprit of the rules is the important thing not the technical side. the ref in the Baylor game had every right to call this foul per the rules as they are written, but he never should have.There is no way tenn player had time 10 ft from the basket with her back towards it, to tip it in. It was scramble for a loose ball and you could even make a case for the foul should not have been called period even with 5 mins left.
One other point did anybody see if the bu player had established herself inbounds before she touches the ball? That would have made a difference in the call.
We have all made erros and the official in this case and the ncaa should admit one. We are far from perfect.
