This was not when MU was up 3. This was a tie game with 4.7 seconds left. If you cared to look at it objectively, you would understand the CBB rule concerning the law of verticality. Robinson is allowed to go straight up and while straight up, and body contact is not illegal. He is also allowed to block the shot and any natural contact after the legal block is also allowed. It is assumed and accepted that he cannot stop his follow through of his arm after the block, so if it contact during a legal action, it is forgiven and accepted. If he would have missed the ball while attempting to block and hit Pressey, it would have been a foul. If he did not go straight up and made body contact, it would have been a foul. Both instances of contact were perfectly legal.
