There isn't backing in the rule book for every minute thing. Just like my post about the Indiana-Michigan play where someone mentioned it should be called a travel. Is it, under microscopic examination, by rule, by the book, a travel? Maybe. But it's a bad call on that play. It's not setting aside a rule, it's simply interpretation and adjudication of the rules.
Remember, it's the
art of officiating — not the
science.

Yes, I would have. But he would also not have launched that shot with more than 30 seconds left.
