This is a weird hill to die on. No team from rec league up is fouling when

up two. Even in hindsight it makes zero sense. We let one get away. It’s frustrating but it happens all the time in every sport (and not just to VT). When you blow a big lead late and lose on a last second shot there are plenty of opportunities for second guessing. But not fouling at the end isn’t one of them.
