oatmealqueen,
Why not ask the press guy what he had, and then go to the shot charts for more information? Then run the new information past the scorekeeper and make your decision.

Sorry mick but I can't agree with you. I think the officials did all they could in this sitch. If the running scores match, that's the score. This is probably a one in a million situation. Whether the guy is right or wrong, you open a whole new can of worms when you try something like this. What if the basket had been credited, the visitors win, and a review of the tape shows the score was correct to begin with? Sometimes socrers make mistakes but we can't go wild goose chasing.
