Oh one guy might make that mistake. The second guy might make that mistake. But all 3 coming to the same conclusion? I'm here to say, this isn't something I'd screw up.
BI, GT, OOB, fouls, sure, I've screwed all of these up. Last-second shots, even. But whether or not something was a tap vs. a shot? And if his justification (which is what it looks like when he goes to the table) was that you can't "tap" with two hands? God no. Where is that in the rule book?

Yup, and I'm an official that works the same level as these guys. If I screwed up that badly, nothing good should come of it. I'd expect to be dismissed from the staff or lose quite a few games.
A HS coach around here lost on a shot with .3 seconds left, and he lost his mind. I'd do the same and likely go further.
