NC State at Syracuse ending

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?
