What do you think about this mechanic?
 

Is this the approved mechanic for "off the backboard, off the roof, off the air conditioner, off the support wire, at the buzzer, no goal" call?

For the OT-averse among you, how would have gotten out of this one?

Wow. Interesting shot. Correct mechanic. How in the world do you ref a game when both teams are wearing red? Call "red" and "dark red"??? Yikes.:eek:

And you gotta love the white shoes that official is wearing!!:p

I've never officiated a game of H-O-R-S-E before, so I didn't know that was the correct mechanic for "no one will ever get that one, and I want to get home for Wheel of Fortune, so you win". Glad to have an expert around, Rocky!

I don't have access to the link (my job restricted the page) just curious what was the mechanic?

He was fouled before the buzzer.

:)

Missed that on the first watching.

I was wondering how you were going to avoid OT when they panned to the scoreboard.

BTW I have done some rec league HS teams that had similar colors, normally we go "black" and "white" never had a problem other then I gave the league organizer a difficult time for scheduling such teams together.

Red wins!

Is that guy a boxing ref?

Yeah, I got the same problem too!

Darn security geeks. Wonder why they don't want us looking at these pages at work? Hmm.... ;)
