Is this reviewable?

Of course not. Which is why the call as it was lacked any semblance of believability.

I suppose there will be a push now to add the end of airborne shooter status to the list of things reviewable at the monitor.

What other reason would there be for there to be two free throws awarded in that situation?

I've seen myself on video a few times blow calls this season. The reason I made those calls doesn't change just because now I see the replays and realize I was wrong.

It took me exactly one time of looking at that play on YouTube to realize what had happened in regards to the ruling. And that ruling had nothing to do with the gobbledygook the OP claimed came from the referee's mouth.

All fair points. Lord knows I’ve made cr@p calls, too.

I just wish Shaw had been a little more contrite. To say what was ruled on the court and to admit that what was ruled on the court was incorrect are two different ways to answer the question, and I favor the latter. No one expects us to be perfect, but we (and our supervisors) should not be afraid to be honest and humble when we err.

Not trying to be funny, but every supervisor has a boss. It might have been that they did not want him to reveal everything about the call. Calm the freak down. There was probably internal conversations with the calling official and the conference for what was called or how things could have been handled.

Peace

Whatever the reason for the call, they should make it public IF they are commenting on it. And when a mistake is made, it is far better to level with the public. We have enough trouble in this country with facts and alternative facts, etc. As you likely know, the NBA has a report for every game, or maybe it is just during the playoffs, where they will assess key calls in the last couple minutes of every game, and they tell the truth.

This is above my pay grade and do not really care in the end. Just saying that Shaw is likely only telling what he is allowed to tell and likely did what he was asked to do by the Commissioner or league office. This has nothing to do with the NBA and their procedures, they have a much smaller staff of officials and those are employees. Big 12 Officials in some cases might only work a relative handful of games and can lose those games in a heartbeat for things not properly done. Those officials can work in other leagues to replace those games at some point. I do not think it is good practice to address personnel issues with independent contractors the same way with employees. IJS.

I thought they dropped (or maybe just changed) that because of all the problems it caused.
