Thanks for posting the ruling. I figured that the official was correct because the NBA guys get fined whenever they kick a rule, thus they take rules study and application very seriously.

Interesting. They were discussing this exact thing on Mike & Mike this morning regarding baseball umpires and the increasing pressure for more accountability. I wonder if the media knows this is the case for NBA refs. I certainly did not.

If the media cares, they know.

The media and fans in general think that officials aren't held accountable for missed calls and what not at any level. Now I don't know about MLB or the NHL, but they couldn't be further from the truth when it comes to the NBA and NFL.
