Honestly, I felt the call was clear - T. As I said, I was L and had already taken two steps off the end line, onto the floor when A1 went up and dunked the ball. As I said, I clearly heard the whistle and didn't see any reason that A1 shouldn't either.
We discussed the play at halftime but really didn't make a conclusive decision as to whether the T could have been passed on or not. I simply felt that the dunk came far too long after the whistle to ignore.
Mike, I only included the information regarding the game to express what the conditions were like in the gym. It was pretty intense. "Sell it big time?" Nah, didn't have to. The only reaction from the coach was to put hsi hands to his head. I'm not sure if he didn't like the call or was unhappy with the player. All I know is he never said a word to me and he took A1 out of the game.
In any case, the game wasn't close, with B winning by 18. In the long run, the T meant very little in the game.
