At the end of one of the games (NM-Stanford?), the team that was behind grabbed the arm of the other team's player right when the other guy was trying to possess the ball, causing the ball to go out of bounds off that other player. The "right" call should have been a foul. All replay would allow is that the guy who was fouled last touched the ball; ball to team who fouled. But as fouls are judgment calls, it's the lesser of evils-- the other evil being allowing fouls to be called on video. That being said, I can see one day adding the ability to challenge foul calls, e.g. twice a half, such that the official who made the foul call can reverse himself after viewing the video. In general, though, I think it's human nature to favor the team coming from behind, even if subconsciously. - Jeff
