Thanks ilyazhito and Raymond.
As a high school basketball official, I really don't care very much about NBA rules, but as a scientist, I do care about logic.
That dead ball comment from the L2M Report has been a bee in my bonnet since the original post of the L2M Report.
Hopefully the bee has moved on to somebody else's bonnet.
