That's exactly why I posted it here. I had a hope that some of officials would go through the articles and, possibly, find weak spots in my argumentation.

The Referee magazine article will disprove your thoeries.

I wish he'd start a website about that missed travel call in the 1936 Olympics. Now that was a big deal. :p

Hindsight is always 20/20, although sometimes myopically so. What's done is done, and all the rehashing in the world isn't going to change it.

I was actually in Munich for these games - not for basketball though, I was a member of the support staff for a team in another sport. In all honesty, there were other things that occurred that pretty much made things like what's being discussed here pretty insignificant, at least to those who were there - and that's all I have to say on the matter.

Amen, Tim. Absolutely no comparison. Anybody who watched that unfold on TV will never, ever forget the scenes portrayed. Nobody was really thinking of any sport, let alone basketball which wasn't even a global favorite at that time.

And I could not find anything in the rules about FIBA representative's power.

Do you have a copy of the 1972 FIBA rules, regulations and constitution? If you don't, your research is meaningless.

Do we take direction from our superiors like this during a game?

You might want to ask the PA refs who were TOLD during the game that they would not disqualify the players who came off the bench during a fight in a state tournament game.

Yes, I do. You can find rules of 1972 in my site.

You have the game rules but not the organizational bylaws, constitution, rules, etc.

Just a follow-up.
I received and reviewed the article from "Referee Magazine" that some referred to as an ultimate source of truth about that game.
You can find my review here.
Comments are welcome.
