Not pretty, but count the goal.

YouTube - basketball shot off the head
They did NOT count it. The R was a very veteran official,and IMO has an oversized ego, the U1 was a younger guy and a college official and the U2 was a "crusty verteran". The U1 pointed out that there was time on the clock and no "extenuating circumstances". The R came up with a legal shot attempt line of reasoning, before pulling out the "I've done this longer than you, don't question me card" and waving off the bucket. As the U1 is a friend of mine, I am glad to see that his career has moved up as he has gotten a larger college schedule (which also means I can save on gas by carpooling!!!). I am also glad to see that the R has been picked up and dropped by 3 seperate college leagues.

JR Wouldn't that make a need for TWO types of blue font?!?!? And I will put my rules knowledge up against your reading comprehension any day of the week! (Except for this coming Thursday, I have a full schedule!!)
