Toronto vs. Detroit
If you watched the end of this game, you might recall this. Detroit trailing, 82-77, 1:35 left. Coming out of a timeout, Detroit to inbound at 28' line in frontcourt. As the official bounces the ball to the Detroit inbounder, the Toronto defender (Alvin Williams?) waves at the official and asks him to wait, to tie his shoe. The official blows the whistle and gets the ball back. In the meantime, the Detroit players had made the first cut of their inbounds play. During the shoe tying, Toronto subs Jerome Williams in for Antonio Davis, to guard Corliss Williamson. Maybe Lenny Wilkens saw something in the play that clued him in that Detroit was going to Williamson on the play, because they did, and Jerome Williams' tenacious defense helped force a missed shot.
Should the official ignore the shoe tying request in the NBA? In NCAA? In NFHS? In junior high games? [Edited by A Pennsylvania Coach on Apr 30th, 2002 at 03:53 PM]
