Did anyone see the Knicks vs. Pacers game last night? Larry Johnson shot a 3-pointer from the corner with about 15 seconds left in the game. The ball was gonna go in the basket but Patrick Ewing touched it as it was going into the cylinder. The refs blew the call. The Pacers were furious. They ended up losing by 2 points.
It should have been called offensive goaltending. BSILLIMAN is correct. The 3 points should NOT have counted.
Q: Isn't it also a Technical if a player goaltends during a free throw? I've never seen it happen though.
