People want to argue the ref should swallow a whistle on a foul like that with a two-point margin inside the last 10 seconds
Again, why should a team gain a big advantage just because its in crunch time? The swallow the whistle philosophy is just fandom that wants to see it play out but totally unfair to the other team.

I said I’d talk about it; I didn’t say I wouldn’t have made the call. My post was basically devil’s advocate stuff.
IMO you should call games, in any sport, the same way from start to finish. And people who say “the referee shouldn’t affect the outcome,” sports officials literally exist to affect the outcome. The WNBA players who were bitching about it were reacting like players, and players will try to get away with everything they can get away with.
If they didn’t call that, Iowa would have reason to gripe.
