Revisiting 1972 Olympics final
 

I took some effort to investigate events of the subject. Collected different materials, including videos, interviews, FIBA rules of 1972.
I put the results to last3seconds.com.
Anyone interested, welcome. Comments are very appreciated, especially if you find any mistakes or wrong conclusions.

My comment?

you really, really need to get over it. :)

My comments?

1) Awful grammar.
2) Awful writing.
3) You really, really need to get over it.

Have someone edit your writing.

Chalk Hawk: I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that English is not iliasbay's native language. But what he/she wrote is about 10,000 times more coherent than any stab most of us would make at writing it up in Russian or whatevertheheckitis his native language is.

Sounds like ilias had an itch to scratch and tried to satisfy it with some sort of research effort. Knock yourself out, ilias.

Saw a fascinating documentary-type piece on this game done by Bob Costas or somebody like that a number of years ago, giving the Russians' perspective. Remember their arguments for being rightful winners sounded fairly reasonable, or at least understandable. A real eye-opener.

Interesting stuff. I was flabbergasted by the fact the timer at the Gold Medal Game of the Olympics were supposedly inexperienced.

Omg
 

Handful of replies, but almost nothing about the matter!
I know that my English is far from being perfect, but I hoped natives would understand what I have written.
I guess that my investigation is too detailed to become interesting to the public.

You're right. According to his youtube page, he's Canadian, eh.

Or disjointed.

We're not the public, we're basketball officials. ;)

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

Well, that and the fact that your topic is 38 years old, has been done to death, and just isn't really that interesting to anyone anymore. And you can also take into effect that you posted it on a web site devoted to officiating and officials. The officials in that game didn't make the final decision. They simply followed the directives of the FIBA rep.

Even basketball officials can make an effort and become a public, for a moment. :)

Can. Probably not likely to. But definitely can. ;)

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.
