Saw Eli work again Saturday evening, and I would say he has improved quite a bit since the beginning of the season. More confidence, more consistent floor position and talked through a couple of emotional situations, successfully de-fusing them. At least that was how it looked from my seat. Also, Portland won very comfortably, so of course it all looked great to me.
I do have a question about a call with about 7 minutes left in the game, when Portland's player in-bounded, a Portland player just tipped it, but didn't control it until both the ball and the player were in the backcourt. Was that an over-n-back call Eli? Was it correct? In the true spirit of stupid fans, no one yelled or said anything much, but I don't think it's because they know the rule differences from association to association. Whatever you could say about that call, Eli, would be helpful.
