If they were trying to prevent a 3-pt shot and put the guy on the line for FT's - it's a smart play, one that we see at every level.

I agree with the NBA saying there should have been a call. Perhaps it should have been Flagrant-1 (intentional), but still should have been a whistle.

My $0.02

Not likely, but then again this was not a typical end of game foul situation. And since the contact did not really affect the play, I might have possibly passed. Not saying I would have actually passed on the play, just saying I understand in a split second why they passed.
