Don't you wish they violated on the jump ball?

If it wasn't, it sure looked weird.

My immediate thought was a stolen tap.

And I called it in a camp at the start of OT.

Mine too, but my second thought was, "They're never going to call that." And I was right.

Was watching an NBA final game from a long time ago on YouTube (2-man crew). They called this violation on the opening toss.

It is sometimes called at those levels and it is sometimes not called. There doesn't seem to be a strong pattern. Not sure there is much to learn form them not calling. If they had called it, they wouldn't have been the first and, since it wasn't really that close, no one would have had a problem with it.

You just have to be ready from the start. Tosses a little right,left or short I'm not calling back...if not egregious.(sp) If it is stolen it should always be called...but at times guys relax. I thought it was stolen. Refereeing's hard....have to be constantly alert. Best guys on planet make mistakes. That's how hard it is...

Wouldn't that have been before alternating possessions? I'd imagine calling the violation a lot more then...

I haven't seen an NBA game in years, really, but when did they go to AP?

Wishful thinking...
