Of course it's the fault of the officials

Standard disclaimer, I'm new, wasn't there....

Does anybody see contact by the defense at the endline immediately after the throw-in? Still absolutely no excuse.

Um yeah. The C saw it also. That's why he called a foul on the white player for that contact. He had his fist up for that foul before the second push-off happened. He then called the flagrant technical foul for the second push-off by the white player.

Is your point that the calling official wrongly called the first foul on the endline contact?
