Completely disagree, makes no difference what the score is, if there's an obvious foul it should be called, I don't like when refs make calls at the end of close games, but the Creighton defender clearly grabbed the guy's hip as he rises up to shoot it, and kept it there the whole time it wasn't like some incidental contact, he made a bad defensive play and it cost his teamthe score matters.
C'mon Heim, this take is ridiculous, if they were down 2 then it's a foul, but tied it isn't? What if they trailed by 3, is it a foul then? I know you had a future on the Jays, as did I, and I was pissed when the whistle blew, after watching the replay, I redirected my anger from the ref to the kid who committed the foulIf State was down 2 I can see Creighton getting a unfair advantage. Call it.
The zebras didn't decide it, the kid from Creighton did, first he gets beat off the dribble, which you should never allow in that spot, force the offense to shoot it from the outside, you can't get beat off the dribble in the final seconds, then he compounded his mistake by grabbing the guy's hipThey should have just let them play like they were all game long. If it goes to OT nobody is crying about that being a foul. OT to decide it. Not the zebras.

Players are going to take advantage any chance they get at the end, it puts the pressure on the ref.What they're not talking about in these situations, the score matters.

never grabbed him, nudged him, light push,.Completely disagree, makes no difference what the score is, if there's an obvious foul it should be called, I don't like when refs make calls at the end of close games, but the Creighton defender clearly grabbed the guy's hip as he rises up to shoot it, and kept it there the whole time it wasn't like some incidental contact, he made a bad defensive play and it cost his team
You're not allowed to nudge a player while he's in the air attempting a shot, you're also not allowed to lightly push him in mid air eithernever grabbed him, nudged him, light push,.
You should have stopped therethats a 2023 foul
reminded me of the superbowl PI call, neither of them would have been called in 1st half.You should have stopped there
Absolutely, I had a future on Creighton +2400, but I thought it was the correct callBTW hard to be completely objective when you have a vested interest,
Nope!Texas UConn gonna beat up on each other
I know someone with a future on both, he would love that scenario.
I shut it off and just looked.
FAU Miami still can happen
Should have used body to check of at all. Hands most likely to draw the dog whistle.Incredible he would call hand on hip a foul advancing SDST to Final Four
Will be interested in seeing the career arc/path of the official involved in the controversial call.
Will he be promoted or demoted for his judgment?
I side with KANE over HEIM in this discussion, but I see both sides of the argument.
This situation was similar to the PI call in last month's Super Bowl.
This is clearly incorrect. You can't let the score dictate how you call a game. You have to call what you see as a ref no matter the situation.What they're not talking about in these situations, the score matters.

If anyone has to adjust to a late-game situation, it's the players not the referees.
You must defend without fouling.
Can make this case for sure.If I was allowed the same leeway all game as a defender, I’m doing the same thing at that moment.
The debate to me about this call was did it fit the context that the crew established prior? Only 11 fouls and 17 FT’s to that point says maybe not.
