Never on its own. There's too much going on in the course of 32 (40, 48, etc.) minutes for one play to decide anything. |
So: tie game, last second shot, no contact, official mistakenly calls a shooting foul, shooter sinks the first FT to win the game.
That's not a bad call determining the outcome? Or you're going to tell me that the FT contributed.
Well then how about this one: team down by 2, last second shot, clearly off in time, official mistakenly waves it off, shot goes in (if it's a 2 we should go to OT, if it's a 3 the game's over). That's not a bad call determining the outcome?
Again: it seems to me that you're not just wrong, you're obviously wrong. I can't imagine why you're disputing these points.
