The call was correct. The ball doesn't have to be in the cylinder. It just has to have a chance to touch the rim.

The decision to review the call was not correct. They told Thibs that they didn't review the offensive interference on the Nuggets because it wasn't called on the court. The same thing happened with Noah but the refs decided to review that. It was bullshit.

It was short of the rim. It wasn't going in.

I didn't know this, buy Kenny Mauer is Joe Mauer's cousin.

Rule 11g:

Player shall not touch any live ball from within the playing area that is on its downward flight with an opportunity to touch the basket ring. This is considered to be a "field goal attempt" or trying for a goal.

_________________

They called it offensive interference. It was according to the rulebook.

_________________

Goaltending and Basket Interference is the same thing. Here's the whole rule.

RULE NO. 11-BASKETBALL INTERFERENCE-GOALTENDING
Section I-A Player Shall Not:
a. Touch the ball or the basket ring when the ball is using the basket ring as its lower base.
EXCEPTION: If a player near his own basket has his hand legally in contact with the ball, it is not a violation if his contact with the ball continues after the ball enters the cylinder, or if, in such action, he touches the basket.
b. Touch the ball when it is above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder.
c. For goaltending to occur, the ball, in the judgment of the official, must have a chance to score.
d. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball after it has touched any part of the backboard above ring level, whether the ball is considered on its upward or downward flight.
e. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball after it has touched the backboard below the ring level and while the ball is on its upward flight.
f. Trap the ball against the face of the backboard. (To be a trapped ball, three elements must exist simultaneously. The hand, the ball and the backboard must all occur at the same time. A batted ball against the backboard is not a trapped ball.)
g. Touch any live ball from within the playing area that is on its downward flight with an opportunity to touch the basket ring. This is considered to be a "field goal attempt" or trying for a goal.
h. Touch the ball at any time with a hand which is through the basket ring.
i. Vibrate the rim or backboard so as to cause the ball to make an unnatural bounce.
PENALTY: If the violation is at the opponent's basket, the offended team is awarded two points, if the attempt is from the two point zone and three points if it is from the three point zone. The crediting of the score and subsequent procedure is the same as if the awarded score has resulted from the ball having gone through the basket, except that the official shall hand the ball to a player of the team entitled to the throw-in. If the violation is at a team's own basket, no points can be scored and the ball is awarded to the offended team at the free throw line extended on either sideline. If there is a violation by both teams, play shall be resumed by a jump ball between any two opponents at the center circle.

The correct call of goaltending, or basket interference, was made.

_________________

If any of those things occur, it is basket interference/goaltending.

They fucked up in reviewing one and not the other, not in the call.

_________________

You're wrong.

If any of those violations occur, the penalty is assessed based on the situation.

The officials made the correct call.

_________________

Like I said, I agree that the procedure to review the call was where they were wrong.

If that's what the ref said, then he's a moron. And he got lucky that the rule says the play was basket interference.

Q, read the rule. The play was offensive interference. The basket should not count.

There is no debate. The correct call was made.

_________________

He said he'd have a big problem with someone punching him in the workplace

The call was correct.

The Kosta Koufos play from about 30 seconds earlier should have been reviewed though too. I think that's where most of the anger is coming from.

Doyle is 6'5" 215 lbs

Which is essentially being fired. I highly doubt they bring him back next year.

Anyway, blame Kerry Sayers.

Really? So I guess that makes it OK.

The Bulls will be done with their season (and post season) around the 2nd week of May.

I didn't say that, Jimmy. I just wouldn't classify Doyle as a little announcer guy.

It's really a shame because the guy replacing Kendall reminds me of Tommy Williams. Although for the record Tommy would have been more entertaining.
