Officiating in Tourney.

Maybe its my past years of officiating, but I have seen some calls in this tourney that are difficult to accept at the end of the games.

1. - The back court call was inexcusable.   It is a rule that creates fan reactions because of the vagueness of the rule, but an official shouldn't miss this type of call.

2.  Texas 5 Second call was predetermined but more understandable and wrong.

3.  The Pitt-Bradley foul with 0.9 seconds left for the foul on the arm.
Was it a foul?  Yes. 
Should it have been called after the hacking going on during the last 5 minutes...No.

The first two calls should be reviewable on instant replay in the tournament during the last 2 minutes.
