Rescinded T

[tomegun]

The official called a double T
The other official (the R even though it doesn't matter) came in and questioned the call
The calling official waived off the double T

Personally, I don't think the other official should have said anything, but sometimes it is a matter of survival at this level and that is why the call was changed.

The overtime game yesterday also included an inadvertant whistle. The official granted a timeout when the opposite team had the ball. Lesson learned: always make sure the calling team has the ball or the ball is loose after a made basket.


Also, the intentional technical foul was indeed kicked the day before yesterday. Let's just say the situation was rushed (the calling official has championship experience(s)). When we talk about getting together after a technical foul to make sure we all know what we got, it is very beneficial.

tomegun,
Thanks for the details. Evidently, I was incorrect about only the Cal player initially being charged with a T, but as I said this is what it looked like on TV because he only pointed at the Cal player after giving the T sign just once.

It is awesome to get the facts of what happened from those guys. I think it is very big of them and very cool to share and admit their mistakes. In my opinion, it shows real character and class that they don't consider themselves above being questioned. I truly enjoy learning from their experiences. Please pass along my thanks for their openness.
