Can't see video but I trust what you are saying. But according to reports it's being said that the officials stated there was no IF. And the fact that they went to the monitor and came away with a 2-shot personal foul gives that report some credence. Because by rule you can't downgrade a foul using the monitor.

That's the problem, Newz. The officials are saying that there was no IF, yet a signal was definitely given for the IF. What hasn't been given afaik is an explanation of why the IF signal was given and then an IF was not applied. If they hadda done exactly what you recommended doing in your post #37 above, it wouldn't have looked so bad and we wouldn't be discussing this.

I saw that, too, and noticed that they were not quoting the officials, they were quoting Boeheim (I think). So who knows what the officials actually said.

Scout.com: So you can change an intentional foul call on replay?

Typical fanboyism...even have some of them who apparently visit the forum.
