I know refs are human, and everyone makes mistakes, but when they make a mistake, anyone can point it out. Whats the difference between a ref making a mistake and a player/coach making a mistake? So because he is an offical, we can't critize him? It was obvious that it wasn't a double dribble (although from where he was he may not have seen it).
Are you saying that if Detroit had lost the game then they could have blamed it on one phantom dribbling violation? That's just flat out rediculous, frankly. Yes, if Detroit had lost the game, I'd maintain my position.

My position is that he may or may not have missed the call, but the call did not and could not have been blamed for the Pistons giving up points at the other end. Chances are good that the refs may have flubbed another close call the other direction during this game.

I repeat, Good Grief.
