Wow...this aurabass is really on to something here. Maybe we should carry this logic over into other sports also...example: NFL running back hit and dropped right at the goal line - but come on now, he's awful close to being in there, and it's harder to get in the endzone than to not get in, and we all know his intent was to get in, so we should just go ahead and call it a touchdown, right??
Or maybe in an MLB game, when Barry Bonds gets up there and hits a long shot that hits the top of the wall and bounces back onto the field - I mean we all know what he intended, and it barely hit the wall - give him the roundtripper!
Or I know, when Tiger Woods or Phil Mikelson or VJ Singh choke on that short putt and it lips out, come on now - we all know they intended for it to go in, let's just give it to them...

Pretty silly Rocky Road.
None of your examples are close to the situation that is described.
Gamble's shot went in from the three point line.
Was her foot "touching" the line or not is the question
not did the shot rim the basket and fall out.
The NFL running back is either in or out
Barry Bonds ball bounced back in to the field
and Tiger's put lipped out.
What is being debated here is whether a foot was "touching" a line.
one ref said no
the other said yes
The camera angle decided.
Please try to keep up and offer examples that at least have some similarity to the situation. When you offer these totally out of context examples your satire simply doesn't work.
