Consider, not one of the refs has that angle, and also that by rule, it's not reviewable. It's just one of those tough calls that happen in basketball. Curiously enough, the photo shows 'lead' looking right toward it, but his view may be blocked, if only partially, by the backboard. Lead is supposed to be looking at bodies from about the bottom of the backboard down. The goaltend is supposed to be 'middle's call right there, but remember his line is from from the side opposite to the play, and worse, from below looking up, so what we're seeing is a much better look than he had. Sure, we can all say no. 2 should have let it hit, but you really can't blame him for going for the ball because he's got probably the best look at it of anyone. :noidea:

Anyway, I was out when it happened - did the refs huddle and discuss it? Another problem is that these refs probably haven't worked together before, and this is just the kind of play that will get kicked at tournament time. It's hard to go down that way, but if you don't want to get beaten by one call, or a buzzer-beater, play better sooner. The game is 40 minutes long for a reason.
