ISU coach needs to look at the game film. It was pretty obvious.

Fans started to celebrate what looked like the clincher. Then they noticed the referees huddling at the scorer’s table and looking at TV monitor. Carmichael kicked WSU’s Tekele Cotton when he grabbed the rebound and, after a video review, received a flagrant foul. Hill made two free throws with 40 seconds to play. Early made two free throws and WSU got the ball, down 67-62 with 40 seconds remaining.
At first, referees didn’t call a foul. Then WSU coach Gregg Marshall asked referee Paul Janssen to look at the play. After a review, they hit Carmichael with the foul.
“I didn’t know, really, what it was, but I knew there was a kick,” Marshall said. “He’s coming out of the air, and Cotton’s there, and the foot goes to the face area. I’m glad they made the call.”
Illinois State coach Dan Muller searched his memory for a precedent and came up empty.
“Never in my entire life,” he said. “And I’d be surprised if I see another one. They said he intentionally kicked him above the neck. How Jackie was getting a rebound and intentionally kicking a moving target, I’m not sure.”
