NBA protest and NBA officiating embarrassment

Video request of Houston player James Harden making a dunk, yet the officials missing the fact that it passed through the basket and failing to count the score.

Houston lost by two and may protest the game.

In an NFHS game, would this qualify as a correctable error?
The text language is “Erroneously counting or canceling a score.”

Is failing to count a goal the same as erroneously canceling it? I’m not certain because an official doesn’t actually cancel anything, rather no official made a call at all.

Based on the player's reactions in chasing the ball, it looks like they missed it, too.

I don't think this is an NFHS CE.

How would it be protestable? It was a mistake of judgment (did the ball go in), not a question of misapplication of a rule.

You had to see the replay to know for sure. It looked clearly live like that ball never went through. Player does not react that way, they might have counted the basket.

The ball definitely went in and the net swung it around. I don't think Harden knew WTH happened, along with most, obviously!

Was it reviewed? Is it reviewable?

I believe it is.

"erroneously counting or canceling a score"

If one of the other officials comes up later (but before the window expires) and says that ball went in, it should be counted. Why would we not?

"Embarrassment"?

Christ, they made a mistake on a 1-in-1000-year play. A mistake any one of us could easily make.

It amazes me how holier-than-thou some officials that haven't sniffed the level of the guys on TV love to act.

What's Wrong With Being Embarrassed ???

Even when my partner makes a mistake, I always think, "What could I have done better as a partner to prevent that mistake?".

I'm embarrassed when I post something incorrect on the Forum.

Forty years. Thousands of games. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in game fees. Training. Meetings. Camps. Exams. Conferences. Observations. Advice. Lots of reading. Scrimmages. Introspection.

I always strive to work a perfect game. I never do, but that doesn't keep me from trying and from disappointing myself and being embarrassed every time that I make a mistake.

Of course, I stopped kicking myself about it many, many, years ago, or I wouldn't still be officiating today.

Yeah, “embarrassment” may be a bit on the sanctimonious side of the hyperbole meter.

That said, what may need to be looked at is the 30 second review appeal timeline. The officials said that it had passed by the time the Houston coach challenged, but that’s only because the crew took a country minute (understandably) to figure out (incorrectly) what they had just seen. I think the 30 second window should start in cases like this when a final ruling has been made.

Harden did not realize he made the basket. We never see that and I cannot ever think of a time something like that ever happened.

Peace

The article I read said the coach has to request the review within the first 30 seconds of the next timeout. He apparently spent too long trying to determine if he could request a review and by the time he did, he was beyond the 30 seconds.

Lakers at Utah Jazz

Lebron commits a ridiculous traveling violation with the Trail official having a clear view of the action.

Someone will post the video, several will agree with me that the NBA officiating is embarrassingly poor, and someone will post how great they are and that people who don’t work at that level can’t criticize.
