you are right twocentsworth. I would have liked the lead to step in more and make the call. They should review this one because it was confusing what the call was after the play. It should have been a no-call. No way is that offensive. Not even remotely close. I don't even think the calling ref noticed the arm.

Because you've gone through NBA training and know their points of emphasis?

This is DEFINITELY a play that will/did make the video bulletins of the entire NBA staff of how NOT to handle this situation.....

1.I don't know if I'd call it, but I have no problem with the offensive call as long as it is for the clear out.

2. Wrong. That's a call that has to come from the slot. That's why there are 3 officials.

3. What's wrong with the mechanics?

Fast break on weak side, this is C's call first anyway, especially on contact made away from the lead's line of sight.
