shaq has his hand in the air. it's that his hand was not over his own shoulder, it was forward which is not verticle space. it should have been a foul. but seriously, if there is so much dialog as to whether it was a foul or not, i am OK with the no call.
the thing i was disappointed about was shaq got a long series of no-calls from the time he got his fifth foul through two overtimes.
