Gosh, watched it 5 times and still can't tell.

Great job by calling C.

Although, appears to wave it off after ball is released, and for the sake of appearance, might be questioned. I don't think it could be any closer.

Only Chuck Norris could have waved it off before it was released.

Yeah, I don't know how he's suppose to wave that off any quicker than he did.

Good job by the C. It's close but he got it right.

The announcers are comical. "He gets away with a cary..........Oh that definitely went in.......the officials were wrong and we were right....."

Always easy to officiate from the top of the stands. (Which at least they did admit, somewhat). They said they were going to review the film and post it on their website. Anyone have a link?

Precisely, He does it as quickly as he can, yet since it is split second, it could be construed as after he(shooter) released it.

My thoughts as well. The announcer was wrong...both times!

Good call. You can pause the video and then play it and the ball is still in his hands and you can hear the horn going off.

The announcers are a couple of chuckleheads.

YU.P.

I managed to do that too. Paused at 12 seconds. I had heard the beginnings of the horn, and the ball starting to come out of his hands, but still in contact with the hands.

Carry anyone?
Did anyone else have a carry? At first I couldn't tell who the commentators were cheering for, it became fairly obvious.

The C did a great job as everyone else said, on first viewing I thought it was in his hand. But glad I had the replay button cause I wasn't 100% like the C was.

He waved it off before the ball went into the basket I believe. It was close so I would not expect him to be waving his arms before the shot was released (if that is what you are actually suggesting).

Peace

It seemed the buzzer started when the shooter's arms were going back before he pushed he ball forward....not really as close as it seems.

No basket. TOUGH CALL. I bet none of us would have been surprised had he counted it.

Did the trail fall into a hole in the back court?

No basket. Didn't even have to replay it to see/hear that.

Good, decisive call by the C.

I have no problem at all with the announcers. They were entertaining and not obnoxious.
