I agree with this. Yes, it was a foul. Yes, they let similar or worse go the whole game. People were getting mugged with no call. If you read Pat Forde's column this morning , he quotes an anonymous championship coach (coach K?) who says same thing. It didnt affect shot. He had already released it when contact was made and was just inconsistent with how rest of game was called.
Also, on the double dribble, re the photo above with a hand full of jersey, 1. Another example of refs letting things go (minor), but 2. it doesn't matter in regard to double dribble. It had to be called as Auburn player never touched ball. Just because you may get fouled, doesn't allow you to take 4 steps, for example. I understand the missed call, but but his getting fouled doesn't let it legally happen.
This from someone who really wanted VA to win and really dislikes Pearl.
