My question is, any idea how the refs count this 8 seconds?
Let's see now. You take 18.5. You subtract 12.0. You get.....wait a second.....get out the calculator......that's not working.....better go find a 7-year old and ask him/her.....and the answer is......wait for it......6.5 seconds.

I'm just guessing but it's possible that might be the reason that there wasn't an 8-second violation called.

Are you a math major, by any chance?
