I just read a follow-up story that quoted David Stern on his reaction to the call.Basically,the Commish said:
1)Bernie Fryer made the wrong call.
2)The league has had problems all year with this type of situation and it is a concern.
3)At the end of the year,the NBA will definitely discuss implementing instant video replay for the officials to use for situations like this at the ends of quarters and the game.
It sounds like some good might come out of this for the NBA refs.You can only take judgement so far when you're dealing in tenths of a second and the rules have a grey area.
Btw,thanks,Eli,for the explanation.
