Well, if that team's fans said that on facebook, it just has to be true.

I have called IF on this type of play before. Ideally the "C" would have had a great angle to see this play.

True. Hard to tell if the official opposite the video was T or C. Not enough time to really see if the L came across the lane late and a rotation was not able to be completed or not. There were 3 on that game.

Not always are postings on Facebook to be believed, even if majority of the comments on the video are basically a conversation between parties. Like everyone on here knows, not everyone that goes to a basketball game fully understands the rules.

they might have said it, but the facebook ap is very good at finding and correcting errors. I'm sure it would have been corrected.

I did find out from facebook that the work "gullible" is kind of like the word "irregardless" -- it's not a real word and not in the dictionary.

Isn't everything on the internet factual? There must be some cyberspace super-editor that does all the fact checking? Maybe Al Gore? Right?
