At the 1:05 mark, it looks like the L makes some traveling motion. Not sure what he's doing there...

At the end:

C did nothing. Like Snaq, it looks like T is waving it off; however, I assume he is signaling the end of the game - maybe not.

Sorry, I pulled up your quote, watched the video, then posted my response. I thought I was missing something, so it took me a while to watch the video.

That's where I am with this too. That coach knew it too...he moved on from the trail to the C almost immediately.

edit: the tape was split. the coach reacted to the trail that made the initial call waving off the shot. id've been p.o.'d too

I have to agree with Rich after watching it again. It certainly looks like C was caught completely off guard with the horn.

They called basket interference on the first shot

From what little we can see, it looks like T waves it off, sees C has more information, and they get together. L seems to be the one talking to the losing coach at the end.

Agreed...........what's the lead's mechanic after player dunks in middle of clip?

Raymond · #10 (**permalink**) Thu Mar 04, 2010, 02:48pm

My interp....the Trail came in calling basket interference....that's who the HC was yelling at when the clip ended.

At first I thought there was no way this was what happened, but you might be right BNR. Although from the camera's angle it looks like the first defender makes a clean block then the 2nd defender comes in and hits the net/rim. From the T's angle perhaps it looks like he took the ball off the cylinder.

If this is what he called, he REALLY needs to charge in and sell this call. Still looks like the wrong call to me. Anyone else see this being a possibility?

That would be as bad a call as saying the shot was in time. And I do not think I would be "waving off" on a call that puts points on the board.

I think the call is definitely related to the clock and the C called nothing, the T had it right, and somehow, it ended up getting changed.

I just through that out there as a possibility. Until someone from the Houston area (Splute/Welpe???) gives us some insight all of us here are basically guessing in the dark as to what the actual ruling on the court was.

So my theory is just as good as anyone else's.
