Last-second shot

[JetMetFan]

Two things on this one...

1. Thoughts on what the C saw/heard that would have led to the call.
2. If you're the C and your partners come over immediately, do you change it?

[OKREF]

That's not even close. Clearly good in my opinion.

[JRutledge]

Maybe he was not paying that close attention and guessed? Otherwise I do not recall hearing a horn before the release of the shot. And yes if my partner had information I would be willing to change the call if I was totally wrong. But this was easy. And his mechanics did not show he was sure.

Peace

Not sure why he could possibly be calling it off. That horn was well after the release. Maybe he's under the impression it has to hit the rim before the horn????

[BillyMac]

Why did he indicate that it was a three pointer if he wasn't going to count it?

Ouch, not even close. To answer your 2 questions.

1. I have no frickin clue.
2. Ill listen to what my partner has to say and depending on his information mixed with my confidence of the call it depends. I mean I've had partners run over to tell me something that was right because they had a crappy angle and missed what happened later or on 50/50 calls (ie. strong side rebounding action pass on foul and award ball OOB where they come in and say, "didn't you see it hit red #xx" and I say, "didnt you see the foul on white #xx that i passed on"), so it depends.
2a. It also depends on my confidence with my partner.

This a play where the 2 other officials cannot be afraid of hurting their partner's feelings.

I once had a bonehead play where I waved off an end of 1st quarter shot as the tableside trail. When I started off the halftime discussion by immediately apologizing to the crew, both my partners said I got it wrong. I really wished one those two would have stepped up when I made the call instead of waiting until we were in the locker room.

Why would you EVER pass on a foul? (Your words.) I understand passing on contact if it doesn't cause a disadvantage, but what you wrote is just bizarre.
Please either call a foul or award the ball to the team which didn't touch it last.

Doing otherwise is unfair.

I was wondering who'd be the first to point that out. It didn't make sense to me that he went up with the three signal then changed to waving off the shot.

Wow. What the heck is that guy doing? Maybe he thought he saw a travel? I can't think of any other reason to wave off the shot. It was clearly released in time, by at least a second. Also, I counted 10 wave-offs. How many does one need??

I do not see that as a big deal. He knows it is going to be a 3 point shot so I can understand the instinct to do that. But he never got the hand that high for that signal. I am more surprised why he waved off the shot than that little insignificant detail.

Peace
