Did anyone see the HBO Special :03 to Gold?
The reason I asked is because they went over some of the situations that led up to the Russians beating the US in the Gold Medal Game. Supposebly the entire thing started with a timeout not being granted by a buzzer that a coach had to signal to the table. Appartantly, only the coach could call a timeout. And they had a buzzer system that was suppose to call the timeout instead of asking an official.
Was this rule just for FIBA Rules? Or did the NBA, NCAA or even the NF have a similar rule. Obviously this is for the people that were around playing at that time or officiating (I really did not want to go there
) during that period of the game.
The special was kind of interesting, but it seems like the USA just fell asleep even with all the mistakes made by the table and or officials. Or at least precieved.
