The rule book has added the "Inadvertent whistle" rule in the rulebook this year to deal with situations such as this.
So we are guided by the rule book in this situation (ie an inadvertent whistle) and handle it as per the rule book and the referee is fined???
Should he also be fined for not calling the travel on the spectacular dunk by the superstar. Calling back 4 or 5 of those dunks would have changed the outcome of the game. How about all the carrying of the ball that KOBE does game in and game out. Change the game of course.
Seems the powers that be are bowing to pressure.
I don't see anything wrong with what Henderson did and I agree with what the other refs did to support him.
