I'm glad you said this - I never thought this play was as clear cut and obvious as some people have stated, but I really didn't want to open that can of worms myself.

I too didn't see that it was an "obvious" block because we only have one camera angle and it wasn't the point of the thread. But does anybody really think that would make a difference? I'm skeptical.

Not at all, and that's another reason I didn't bother bringing it up - the thread was about the reaction, not that the call was blown. I just saw people right away saying it was an obvious blown call and I looked at the video several times and I still wasn't sure. I'm just glad he said it so I don't feel like I was the only one who doesn't see it was that bad of a call. I don't want to hijack the thread with that discussion.

For all we know, that might have been the young guy that called the foul and the veteran (Who was said to be the R in this game) came to help him out so that the coach would behave.

Very true - we can't just assume because the L was older that he was the senior official on the floor. Can't judge a book by its cover.
