Didn't look at replay, no scorebook discrepancy, etc.
Dear Snake Eyes, Engmann and B-ball Ref,
There was no scorebook discrepancy. The refs never went to the table until they changed it from a 3 to a 2. My sister has been a referee for seven years but I never asked her. I'm not sure but in NJ I don't think instant replay is allowed. I looked at his feet before he shot. He was clearly behind the line. The refs didn't immediately meet after Linden called time. It was a 2-man crew. They kind of walked over, started discussing, then about halfway through the timeout, changed it from a 3 to a 2. I must admit almost all of the judgment calls went against us. To show you how disciplined our boys are, we got 1 technical foul for the entire season - for forgetting to put a player's name in the book. We understand that alienating the officials is completely counterproductive. To wait that long to change a call without explanation just looked real mysterious.
