Well...since we are bringing this post back to life...and it is a slow Friday at work...let us examine a couple of other things on this video.

BTW...Boiler...nice spot on the fan gesturing travel.

A couple observations on the "bald" official...

* It looks like he hustles well. (Got the ball while his partner gave foul signals to the table...hopefully 3rd official was observing players)

* It looks like he could SLOW down just a bit....take a deep breath before he administers the FT's to the White team. (Looked like there could have been a FT violation on the first FT, on a miss...opponent coming in late to the lane...and even on the second FT the official was almost throwing the ball to the FT shooter before his teammate was in his spot) TAKE YOUR TIME!

* At the conclusion of the game...the bald dude turned his tail and ran. I know some officials like to run for the exits at the end of a game...but, I like to at least wait for my partners and go off together. A brisk walk or jog to the exits is cool..but, at least turn around and look to see if your partner is making it away from the mayhem. If the official, that made the "controversial" call, had been attacked...I'm not sure his partners would have seen it to help or make a report about it.
