Mark,

This was one question where I was definitely looking for historical context, thanks.

It was my D3 game (NCAA-M) last night. HC wasn't happy with me and he took a 30-second time-out. I discussed it with my partners at halftime, and they weren't even aware what had happened. CC (whom I have the tremendous amount of respect for) said if the shoe had still been laying on the floor after the made basket, he would be inclined to stop play for safety reasons, but since the player threw the shoe out of harm's way, he agreed with the play-on.
