You call the make - er, I mean, you make the call

However, and I'm sure the officials themselves worked agree, this was a bad call. We've all made them, too.

The title of the video is "Referee decides game...." After my first sentence, I proceed to address the individuals who produced and published this video.

My initial comment is because this is a public forum and a lot of nonofficials belong to it and post here. I appreciate the value of film to learn from. I just don't see much value in this film because the angle doesn't show us the contact. We can speculate that the shooter was out of control and that we don't want to bail her out by calling a foul for minor contact. But, we can't see the contact. Maybe it was enough to warrant a call. Keep in mind that we can't see his signal to the table. It could have been a foul on either 00 or 24. It is important to point out that it might have been a correct call.

From an officiating standpoint, the other official's three point score signal got my attention. He puts up both hands and proceeds to jump up and down slightly. There is no reason for the extra bounce. Just firmly raise both hands and move to the next position.
