That is why I am such a great basketball official: I am blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. LOL

Boy, ya' don't see the word "tuchus" used much on this board. Oy!

You may have a point here...minus the gender confusion.

It looked like a possible flop on the defender, but what about the push off on the offensive player driving to the basket?

Would like to see if the T had an equally emphatic wave off. The C definitely thought it was good.

It wasn't the T's call so he wouldn't/shouldn't have been making a signal one way or the other.

It looks like the C went right over to the T after the call, though you can't tell whether he went on his own or was called over. Guessing here but I'll say he was called over since I know if I was that strong with a game-winning shot I would've just started running off the court.

Guessing again I'm thinking the T either said "are you sure?" or "the shot was late." Again, I'm still surprised the C changed his call because he was so emphatic that it was good.

The T did not do anything to signal what he thought. The officials did come together so that they could get it right. The call was going to send someone home and the C wanted to be sure and put aside his ego in order to confer with his partners. Also the C had about 6 players in front of him and the light and the clock did not match up. There is a picture (which I will have to find again) that shows the light on with .01 seconds left on the clock.

Remember these guys did not have replay to review like the NCAA guys. If the original call stood someone was going home. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Peace
