let's look at the monitor

Not a basketball official but I enjoy reading posts from other sports. The play I remember was Hightower called a non-shooting foul underneath the hoop on a hold off a pass. He called the foul and pointed at the offender and then stepped onto the floor with both arms raised and the index finger raised. Some time passed, and when the FT's were to be administrated Diebler was at the line, but he wasn't the shooter (he was at half court when the foul happened). The Lead official indicated 1-1 and was ready to throw to the shooter, but they were interuppted.The crew was a little confused it seemed and they went to the monitor briefly and put the correct shooter on the line, and then signaled two shots. All the players on the lane line tried making a play on the first shot, it was missed, thinking it was still a 1-1. Don't know why it changed other than maybe it was the 10th foul to go into the double bonus and hightower didn't know that yet. Just describing the situation that I remember.
