Great competition. I remember it well. Unfortunately, I will always be convinced that his last put was a foul. Look closely at his right hand after the put: it appears to touch the outside face of the toeboard in the process of stopping is momentum. czcams.com/video/fWEu223KiG0/video.html

I’m glad someone else noticed this, I’ve been seeing this for years and wondering if anyone thought the same thing.

can't tell from that angle.....

I'd argue you can't tell conclusively from the angle shown (especially not with the resolution available) - would need a camera in line with the toe board.
