Somewhere Rick Barnes is saying "NOW they call it"

NC State's Warren stepping over the free throw line reminds me of an incident in Littlejohn many years ago.
NC State trailed by three (I think) and we fouled to send them to the line with just a few seconds left. The shooter hit the first shot... and intentionally missed the second. He got his own rebound and made the two to send the game into overtime. However, TV replays show that the shooter was FOUR FEET into the lane before the ball even hit the rim and the refs did not call it.
Clemson fell apart in the overtime and NC State won.
It was one of the few Clemson bball games I watched on television (I love the basketball team, but consider myself a curse--when I watch, they lose) and I remember almost putting my hand through the TV when this happened. To this day I can't believe the refs "didn't see" the foul.
