This is a high-level game being played in a football stadium in front of 30,000+ people at the most intense part of the game. In each of the calls made in the video, the officials "matched the moment" with their mechanics/strength of calls.....

What you or I do in a high-school/small college gym in front of 100 people "ain't gonna work" here.

I fully agree with this. Make the call match the play.

I also think we're trained to be a little too subdued in HS but that's an argument for another day.

Uh, no.

I believe Syracuse had a foul to give, and were trying to give it. You are saying you would not call this?

I'm probably no-calling it for the first 30 minutes. I imagine I'd no-call it during the last 10 seconds, also. I'm not taking away a breakaway layup on that bump if the shooter ends up keeping control (like in this play).

If I blew the whistle, I'd regret it.

What if he misses the layup?

He had a wide open layup, that tells me the contact didn't impede him from doing anything. He should make that layup.

Now, if the layup was made more difficult by the bump, call it and give him the 1 & 1. We hold our whistles all the time on a defender who bumps a player who is driving right past him. How is this different?
