Detroit-Miami Game 2
Detroit gets called for a 5 sec. violation on an inbounds during a critical last minute possession. Dick Bavetta was the new T official administering the count.
So I just listened to Tayshaun Prince's post-game interview and he said that he called timeout and that Bavetta didn't hear him because of the noise and that he apologized for it (very classy on Bavetta's part). They also showed a replay of the incident and IF Prince called a timeout, then it wasn't obvious. I hate stupid players who blame officials for their mental mistakes. The crowd was obviously incredibly loud, so knowing that Prince needs to turn to the official and make a visual signal for a timeout. He makes a grade school mistake and makes it look like it was the official's fault for not acknowledging the TO. Incidences like this make officials the scapegoat for bad player decision. |

"From Dick's point of view, he was so caught up in watching for the inbounds pass that he wasn't paying any attention to me," said Prince, who said Bavetta apologized to him afterward. "That upset me. He has to be looking in my area." I hate it when I make mental mistakes. Forget "classy" and do not make that error. mick |

I see nothing wrong with what you say. But if Bavetta didn't screw up, he had no need to apologize for not covering his primary. mick |

He's got to trust his partners. The two non-administering officials ought to be able to handle all the other action. After all, for most of the NBA's history, there were only two officials. |

Has Bavetta said that he apologized for "missing" the TO? I don't put any credence in the player's story until I hear the official's story.

I didn't see the game & assumed the apology was made in a statement to the press. In any event I know I would have been upset with myself if I didn't catch a TO request in that sitch.

When there were only two officials in the NBA, it was probably even more important for the administering official to not just focus on the inbound matchup. If he did, that would have left 8 players for his partner to watch! When I say that the administering official "looks through" the inbounding matchup, I mean that they don't JUST focus on those two players. That would be a waste. They get wide enough to see their primary in addition to the inbounding action. You can't focus SOLELY on the inbounder, even if the count gets to 3 or 4 or you might miss something critical in your primary that your partners aren't going to get. Z |
