6 on the Floor and No T
In the middle of the second period in the Heat v. Bulls game, the Heat had 6 on the floor during a live ball. I did not see it very well; mabey one official didn't see the other's signal and they let it go. It was either that or the sub entered illegally and they cut the Heat a break. Regardless, there was no T. Even the announcers thought there should have been a T. Any of those who watch NBA games see it or have a clip of it? Any thoughts?

I saw the call...there had to be something more that happened because they wouldn't just ignore the call. The problem with the replays they showed is they just showed a freeze frame showing the six players on the court rather than the action that caused him to come on the court. For all we know, Dan Crawford could of told him he could come into the game but didn't see the ball was live.
The only other explanation I can think of is the officials recognized the sixth player before the ball became alive and were really slow with blowing the whistle...and by rule they if they did, they would blow the play dead and get the sixth player off and resume play. |

Very likely that he waved him on without knowing the ball was live. I know the announcers usually don't have a clue, but they at least recognized that there was an extra Heat player on the floor, and they knew that that usually leads to a T.

They see a play, get confused, and try to explain (usually incorrectly) to the viewers. |
