Yes, I saw the highlight Chuck, it was funny to see them make that mistake. I think it is also relevant to know how the official handled it. He quickly realized what had happened, wiped off the basket, called a lane violation, and gave them another free throw. You could see him telling the coach that he had messed up, but that this was the only way to handle it.

Anybody happen to see the Milwaukee/Toronto game last night? I just caught the highlights on ESPN. One of the plays they showed was a FT, of all things.
Toronto player shoots FT and misses. Ball comes off rim normally and another Raptor just grabs the rebound uncontested and slams it home.
Why was the rebound so uncontested? B/c the refs allowed the players to line up in the wrong spots along the lane!! The Toronto player was in the low space and the Milwaukee player was in the next space.
Isn't it nice to know that we're not the only ones to get an occasional brain cramp?
