Shake it off -- rub some dirt on it.

At the risk of beating this farther into the ground:

If it's plain as your nose that it's a foul, then they should call it a foul. But the borderline calls shouldn't be made, and calls not affecting play shouldn't be made unless they're really egregious. I'm not saying Zidane stays on the field. I'm saying that NBA games should be decided by field goals, not free throws.
