Game tying 3 waved off.....

[Nevadaref]

Try to think of it from the point of view of the defender or the defending team's coach. The defender is doing exactly what he should and needs to be properly rewarded for that.

Someone on the offensive team should have set a screen to break the six-foot distance or a quick pass and return hand-off could have been included.

What bothers you is that this call would not happen at the NBA or college level because the rules are different and the player was dribbling the entire time. Get out of that mindset and focus on the HS game. That defender make a terrific play and deserved to get the whistle.
