UMKC would never get that call at home if Bakersfield fouled them. This is multiple years. Last years conference tournament game GCU shot 35 free throws against UMKC. Year before NMSU shot 33. Starting to make me think UMKC isn't welcomed in the WAC.

I never thought UMKC would finish high in WAC. Just want the players to decide the games.

The WAC doesn't call fouls. Officials do. I hate to deflate your convoluted conspiracy theory, but the lead official from last night's crew (Frank Harvey) has refereed in 28 games this season, most recently calling Pac12, Big Sky, Big West, and WCC conference match ups. Point being that the logical conclusion is he could care less about WAC standings. He's probably waaaaaaay more interested in preserving his professional integrity by getting the call right, which he did.

If there is concern about how many free throws opponents shoot against UMKC, perhaps the actual problem is how players are being coached (or not) to defend without fouling. Kareem Richardson being a bad coach is way more logical to me than some grand conspiracy through the officiating ranks to keep the Roos down.
