Unhappy

Game situation:

VGB tournament semi-final, white up 4 when black scores. White has ball on endline for in bounds play and calls time out. Play resumes with white's attempt to inbound and ball is deflected oob by black. Here's where things go wrong. Officials get ball back to white for inbounds play and white player runs endline with no call. White is fouled after inbounding ball with just seconds left and makes 1 of 2. Black coach is screaming up storm says "TRAVELING" should of been called. White wins by 3.

Newspaper article leads with "BLOWN CALL SWINGS IN FAVOR OF CARDINALS". Imagine that, it couldn't have been black's missing "n" number of free throws or shots during course of game!

Officials tell black coach "sorry" but of course nothing can be done.
