It's not so much WHEN the call happened (I'm generally not a huge fan of "let 'em play"), but the context. Those types of fouls are ALWAYS intentional, so it obvious that there must be a higher standard for a call there than earlier in the game, where such a foul would be more blameworthy (since there is no legitimate in-game reason for an intentional foul there).
I'm not directing this to anyone here, but any Xavier fans that are bitching about this are being completely obnoxious. It's not like the refs are taking something away that they did, they decided not to make a borderline call on a play that had no impact on the game whatsoever. (It'd be like a ref not making a call on a coach who wandered too far down the court).
