Juulie,

I think those reasonable, non-biased fans in the other thread got confused by the officials' signal for the 3-attempt, and the subsequent "count it" signal when the buzzer went - they thought (erroneously) that the preliminary signal was for a foul, and the next signal was for an "and one".

If the official signalled the "3" with the middle, ring, and pinky fingers, maybe someone confused the rest of his fingers as making sort of a fist - I don't know.

What I don't get is this idea that there was a WHISTLE - although there could have been one at the buzzer signalling the expiration of the clock - that, combined with the above, could have had some (uninformed and ignorant) Kentucky fans thinking they got robbed of a free throw to win it.

Just shooting at shadows....
