Seriously?

Why ( or more correctly why not?)

It's the correct call.

I think we all know what he means, and it's a naïve thought process.
I have no idea what he means in this situation. Usually when people say that they are talking about not calling a foul or violation and even that is absurd to think that. I am just focusing on the call whether I got this call right, not trying to make a call that everyone is going to like. Someone is going to likely think you got it wrong even if you are totally right (look at the other close call posted recently).

Peace

Right. I believe he means, swallow the whistle, and it is absurd.

You have to tell everyone something either way in this situation. Not anything for you to swallow at this point.

Peace

I think he means: IF the score is already tied, waive it off. If the blue team is behind by 2, count it. That way, the teams get to play some more, and maybe the officials won't have to make the hard decision 4 minutes later.

Lah me.

I just don't think this is a travel that gets caught that often and considering the focus on the clock and on making sure the crew doesn't miss a crucial foul -- I think it just gets missed. Nothing nefarious, certainly.

Gotcha...

Seems like a really, really obvious travel to me.

Wave the basket off and call the travel.

It wasn't to me until someone said something. Of course, I was *told* to watch for the buzzer beater, so I'm looking at the hands not the feet.

I was waiting to read all the responses to see if anybody else saw this.

You are obviously wise beyond your years.

That's a lot of years to be wise beyond...

How much "invoking" is this going to take?
