It's Lin-Sane ...
Jeremy Lin would have never charged in that situation.

Amaker and the culprit seemed to realize it was the correct call, so I give credit to the players. Fans? They're stupid no matter how smart they are.

One of the biggest myths is that Ivy League students are smarter than everyone.

Well apparently at least one is smart enough to upload video to our site.

Since this call decided the game, the officials must be happy they got it right.

To be fair I believe he meant he was "set before the player went airborne", which is relevant for this particular play.

Didn't say those words exactly but he said he was there early. Like when an announcers says "a good over-the-back call" when there was actually a good push foul called.

What if he moved backwards while the player was in the air?

That would have put him in the RA and made it a block!
