In the post game interview Prince said that Bavetta apologized, and the interviewer (can't remember her name) asked if he apologized for the call and Prince said that he apologized because he said something he shouldn't have said. When asked what Bavetta said, Prince said that it didn't matter. Neither Bavetta nor the league has issued any kind of statement to the press. The apology was something that was said on the court in "the moment" and should have been left on the court.

But if Bavetta didn't screw up, he had no need to apologize for not covering his primary.

He didn't apologize for missing the TO. Prince said that he said something ugly to him and that's what he apologized for.

That's probably because it wasn't a she.

You mean like a request for a timeout?

Amazingly, you can see a time-out request, even if you aren't staring directly at the inbounder and ignoring the other 9 players.

We must be talking about a different interview because in the one that I saw, Prince said that Bavetta apologized for missing the TO call. Did Prince do another interview in the press room after the game?

I still think the apology was said not because he was wrong, but it was the professional thing to do. Why linger around after the game? Quickly say you're sorry and leave.

I'm still on Bavetta's side here with regards to not recognizing the TO. The onus is on the player and his teammates to alert the official of the timeout request.

While officials need to be aware of the situation, the official also needs to be in a position to ref the inbounds play. That's why if you saw the replay you would've seen Bavetta about 6ft. away from Prince. If you're right beside the inbounder, then you have a more difficult time seeing any violations. Due to the distance of the official in this case, Prince needed to make a visual request, too, because the arena was so loud.

I didn;t know we were talking. I was addressing left coast's post.

Jim Gray interviewed Prince immediately after the game before he left the floor.

Bavetta was looking at the contact between two players when Prince whispered for TO.

You're on an online forum, on a thread that I started and you get snarky about me asking if we're talking about two different interviews? Classy...

I wasn't being snarky, whatever the hell that means. I quoted left coast, when I posted. That's why I said I didn't know we were talking. Don't be such an butt.
