Coach called me back on Thrs. He doesn't have a game tape, unfortunately. He told me what he saw, which was essentially what I saw: the shooter stepped forward before the shot and certainly looked like he stepped across the line, but of course, he couldn't actually see the line.
His comment that I liked best in our conversation was: "I really appreciate [the local TV station] for covering our HS games. But they have to remember that they're high school games, not the NBA."
So I guess I'll never know what really happened. Oh, well.
