I'd guess you're about 70% correct, but I slowed the thing down and frame by frame I could not clearly and positively see the ball not contacting the net at any moment before it started coming back up.

At full speed not only is this not 100% clear, but it's also not 100% clear it hit Iguodala, depending on the angle the referee had (and frankly how much experience he had).

Once the ball passes entirely through the basket (net included) it should be a successful try. IMO, the ball clearly & positively passed through the net before going back through the basket from below.

I can't get the video to work, but it seems to me if the players are playing on as if it missed, I'm not stopping the game if there's any doubt. I'm likely to play on.

Sure --- I'm just saying that the officials on the spot obviously thought differently.

True, unfortunately we cant hit the rewind button while working games.

Watching it with the wife she says, I thought you said its a basket when the ball clears the net?

I said, true.

Well the ball hit him in he USA logo & that is well below the net.

I invited her to take the HS test in Nov

I'm late to the party on this one everyone.I've never seen this happen to me in a game but I would be looking for a throw in or whistle as my cue to count the basket.

Yeah, she's cool until I leave the house to go work my games.
I cant blame her though, I dont believe in the "off-season."

If my former wife had done this, I may have still been married.
