In the 1H, for example, Lendeborg did the whole "how could you call a foul on me?" routine after being called for his 3rd foul. The replays clearly showed that he banged his body hard into the Purdue player going up for the shot. So it was an obvious foul, even if he didn't foul the shooter's hand.
Then, just a moment before the last time-out, Mara whined, with his arms outstretched, about being called for fouling Braden Smith. Mara does that a LOT (whine, not foul Braden Smith).
