Penn state just got hosed. Multiple fouls on last shot. Officials really suck if it's a foul in the first 10 seconds it a foul in the last 10.
So there are marginal fouls now? No, a foul is a foul no matter when it happens. Unfortunately what you said is what is wrong with the game.LOL. No. It sounds nice, but it's not true. The closer the clock gets to zero (game clock or the shot clock) the smaller the margin is for error, so as an official you eliminate any marginal fouls that you possibly may get earlier in the game and do your best to only get 100% clear fouls. That's the actual philosophy, you don't have to agree with it, but that's the way games are officiated.
I watched the replay on the drive to the hoop, and, objectively, I was okay with no call.
Agree, it looked like a foul based on the rule book, but live I would have a hard time calling some body contact on that drive.LOL. No. It sounds nice, but it's not true.

Tyler Cook got mauled at the end of the Indiana game (IIRC), so it's not like this is a new development.
