Words can't describe.... this video.

It looked like a steal to me and there might have been some contact afterward, but I cannot say that for sure looking at this (particular) tape.

I agree with JR, you are thinking like a coach. There is no way the bench had a better look than two officials on this play. No way whatsoever.

First of all, I look at a play -- not as an official, coach, player, but as a person. Secondly, the Center appears to have a terrible angle. Not only that, he did not have what it took to issue the first technical when a coach can running out after him. Expecting him to make a big call in the last 15 seconds of a three point game is something I would not expect -- whether it should be made or not.

As I stated initially, the actions of this coach were completely out of line -- including the actions during the time out on the first video. At the same time, I do not view officials' calls as being infallible. The signal the official was giving appears to be one indicating that the player could not release the ball. While the video is not clear, it appeared as though the player got much more than ball on this play.
