I could care less about the game now, but just wonder what the rule said back then.
The rule has basically been the same for as long as I can remember,Nevada.In the play above,the bottom line is your teammate did NOT prevent the release of a shot-so it couldn't have been a jump ball.The shooter made a good play,and the ref was right to hold up on his whistle to see IF the shooter could make that play.
