But, in fact, the referees indicated that it had NOT expired. I choose to believe that the referees got the first call wrong--disallowing the shot--not adding a fraction of a second to the clock.<br /><br />Therefore, I believe the game should have been won by Butler.<br /><br />And the reason this is the only way of looking at things is pretty simple. If the referes disallowed the shot they understood the reason for doing so--expiration of time. Consequently, they would also know that adding time back to the clock would undermine the very reason for disallowing the shot. Given that they could actually deliberate over the addition of time, I'm pretty confident that this was how they viewed the situation from the outset. AND it's less controversial to add seconds to the clock than it is to add points to the scoreboard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038796146239392494.post-45869600696570622112011-11-13T16:27:45.312-05:002011-11-13T16:27:45.312-05:00FYI- The replay doesn't show Colt's feet o...FYI- The replay doesn't show Colt's feet out of bounds after his "steal" of Smith's rebound.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
