I hurt myself from laughing too hard.

Wow, someone has a little too much time on their hands. Considering that I saw the end of the movie last night this post is even funnier to me right now.

Peace

You watch the History Channel, Jeff? I caught this, too, as I was flipping back and forth between UCLA/Kansas and the movie. I've seen the movie, then again, I'd seen this game before, too.
I love that final courtroom scene.

Thanks. I just got tired of seeing on TV the number of times of referees getting 2nd opinioned and questioned about their competency. I realize that it's part of the job but it seems no one ever sticks up for "us" on TV.

As referees, we may not always agree on a call or a decision by our partners but in the end, who else is gonna be on our side? Especially during the heat of the game.

And to quote my mentor: "When we hit the court, remember there are "3" teams on the floor, not 2."

Excellent! But, concur that you have absolutely too much time on your hands!

Which is why, when I go to a game as a spectator, I always sit in the referees' section, even if I am the only one there.

Good stuff! I too saw this movie the other night after the game. Classic post.

Great Post dahoopref,
I would've never thought of rewriting that scene for basketball. Maybe if all those parents who bash officials whether table or floor read this our game would be more civilized.As a scorekeeper I have to shut up regardless of how bad the officiating is.
For those of you who will defend the CBS Studio crew's position remember one thing:They have the luxury of looking at this play on instant replay. I doubt they would call that at game speed.
