Is this a flaw in the way these particular officials are covering the court, or is this a known blind spot that cannot be avoided?
So Jim what you are saying is that the officials were not calling fouls that in your estimation should have been called. Hmmmmmm....were they "missing" these calls on both ends of the floor? Were you an "objective" observer? (if there is such an animal).
