the supposedly brushed Petty’s shorts. Why was that not called a kicked ball?

I was saying the exact same thing. I have seen a million times where the ball is accidentally dribbled off the defender’s foot and it's called a kick ball 99.9% of the time.
And what happened to indisputable evidence or lacking that meant sticking with the call on the court! They paused it at every angle and I still did not see the ball touching the shorts!
The official that called the ball out on UCLA was pointing to his foot, so he knew it was a kick before the replay review.
Should’ve been called a kick. No question. Of course I don’t think they can change that after the review. But your point is right, he knew it was a kick before the replay. So why not call it?
You have asked the million dollar question and rightfully so. Maybe some of our posters who are either active bb officials or former refs can answer that question.
If the defender moved his foot in an attempt to defend and stop the ball it would be called a kicked ball and blown dead. If his foot was planted as part of simply taking a step, and Petty dribbled the ball off of a planted foot, then it would not be a “kicked” ball and play on. I haven’t watched the replay to see exactly which one it was, but that is what I have always known. I think it was total BS to give the ball the UCLA since it was way too close to call. Should have stuck with the original call on the floor.
One of the hardest things about officiating is to remember that if something is a foul 14 seconds and 43 seconds into a game, the same thing is a foul with 15 seconds left in the game.
When Riley made the basket with fifteen seconds left that put UCLA with a one point lead, Campbell charged into Jones and fed the ball to Riley. the correct call would have been charge on Campbell and his fifth foul or foul on Jones for blocking and two free throws for Campbell. the charge kept Jones from being in a position to block the shot. I am not saying that UCLA would not have fouled us on the in bound play and we would have missed both free throws anyway, but the correct call is the foul before the basket.
One caveat is you cannot let the game come down to an official making a call at the end of the game. In addition to the free throws we missed, we missed the front end of four one and one attempts last night. If we hit our 70% of our free throws, we win the game easily and the game does not come down to an officials call.

Not a kick of your foot is on the ground. Petty dribbled it off his foot. Foot never moved.
I’ve never known your shorts or jersey to be part of your body.
