This can apply at ANY level.

Why do they bother sending tape? Do they think the league office doesn't have a copy?

These "public announcements" by coaches and players are getting totally out of hand. Phil Jackson's been doing it like, forever. Just trying to "game" the officials and get that one critical call to go their way........

I know. I just thought it was funny that they're sending a tape. It's like giving Jay Leno a car.

Did anyone see the 3 second call on Garnett in the 3rd period tonight? Boston inbounds the ball after a Laker basket, Rondo dribble up the floor. At the 20 second mark on the shot clock, "Tweet," 3 seconds.

The call was correct. Does anyone know why?

Was that the play where Mike Breen was saying the ball was two seconds in the backcourt? I have to give credit for the play-by-play guy actually knowing the rule.

I guess there's no "benefit of the doubt" if you're backing out of the lane on the three-count, at least not that time.

Why was it correct?

I really didn't mind it that much, as I thought it was a better call than calling a foul on Garnett for displacing Gasol as violently as he did...but I'm not sure that makes the call "correct".

Didn't see that part of the game....was the initial pass to Rondo in the frontcount?

(I checked the NBA rules and their 3-second call does match the NCAA/NFHS rule of only applying when the ball is in team control in the frontcourt.)

The 24 second clock wasn't started until AFTER Rondo crossed the division line. We ran it back and watched it. I guess we aren't the only ones with slow clock operators.

And I agree. I told my two sons he was in there the entire 4 seconds but he got the call instead of the foul that coulda/woulda/shoulda been called.
