There is some contact–Witherspoon’s elbow to Williams’ armpit–but Witherspoon is like 45º leaning into contact while Williams is mostly straight up. To me that seems like a very easy no-call, one that would only be controversial to Memphis fans. But, still, I suppose it could be called controversial.

I think there are vocal arguments on both sides (though probably not to the extent of the Morehead-Louisville ending), which is why it can be described as controversial. Thank you for checking us out!

He probably did, but Witherspoon gathered the board anyway, and the idea of deciding a game based on body contact on a rebound seems less than palatable. Williams’ block was about as clean as it gets.
