Fantastic play by the Syracuse guy (after he almost gave up a dunk).

No

I disagree. first, the rules changed last year to allow for continuation (we have benefited from that change numerous times including in the final four). Second, the foul was intentional...

Mike Stuart wouldn't (didn't) have the balls to call it either way.

He was still dribbling at the point of the foul, which is why there was no continuation. The player made a half hearted attempt to foul on the ball side of the dribbler which was across the body. Good enough to avoid the intentional. Good foul if you're Syracuse.

Yes! Dixon blew it when he called the timeout.
