Does that mean you agree that had the play happened with 7 minutes to go, you'd agree it was a foul?

Sure, we miss calls (including calling "fouls" that aren't). But, anytime someone uses the "at that point in the game" argument, I tend to tune out.

If you want to discuss whether the contact rises to the level of a foul, then that's different (and, again, I didn't see the play, not am I likely to be able to).

I think it was a 50/50 ball accompanied with a 50/50 call, and when you add to the fact that there is .7 seconds left in a tied game, then yes, I think the timing of the game is relevant.

Can you imagine this exact play deciding a National Championship?
