Me too. This pisses me off the more I watch it. I would have told him on the court that I'm reporting him to the assignor, and I would have called the assignor the minute we got in the car.

Why wait? I would have called the assignor from the locker room with the bozo sitting right there listening.

I guess we know where the term being homered comes from. Embarrasing. we have a hard enough time when we do things right.

Disregard post I just tried to delete on whether there was something else going on here. After listening to it with sound, I heard him verbalize "Five Seconds", though nowhere in the clip did I see any five fingers signifying it. I thought, without sound, that he might have had something else. Don't know what all the pointing downward was about.

Nowhere do I see any indication of the standard "five fingers" displayed by the alleged bad-guy lead anywhere throughout this clip. Not sure why he's pointing downward so often, unless he's fishing in the trail's pond with a mistaken spot throw in violation.
Am I off base here? Or could this be a test situation on a completely different scenerio of what we cannot see?

Could be any of that, but it isn't.

The game happened a couple of years ago. It was discussed here (not that it can't be discussed again), and it is what it seems. The general comments then were the same as they are now -- it's not the one official's call, and he called it too early (before 5).

... and, although we don't know for sure, he probably didn't have a visible count.
