In real time, I thought the foul on Johnson was a bad call. But on the replay, he clearly got separation with the forearm, giving him an advantage. It probably was the right call. On the replay, I was shocked they gave it to Arizona. I watched it 5 or 6 times while shooting the shit with some buddies. Seemed pretty inconclusive to me, but whatever.
I don't like replay. Officials make mistakes all game, and you get some calls and the opponent gets some calls. What's magical about the 2:00 mark that you have to watch super slow motion 87 times and then discuss for another couple minutes? What if there is a bad call with 2:07 left, and the team that didn't get the call gets a call to their benefit at the 30 second mark that is reversed? Seems silly to me.
Also, replay doesn't take into account other factors. Sometimes, if a guy goes over the back and knocks it off the opponent, they will just award possession and not call the foul. The kid saves a foul, the ball goes to the team it should, and everyone understands exactly what just happened. This shit ignores some of real-world officiating and makes it letter of the law bullshit.

The offensive foul was a terrible call & should NEVER be made at the end of the game like that unless blatant which it was not. He barely touched him & if anything he was fouled while shooting. The out of bounds play was an easy call. I saw it in real time that Wisconsin touched it last. It was impossible for the ball to have rotated the way it did at the end if only the Arizona player touched it.
