Houston Rockets fans, the entire future of NBA officiating hinges on a blown James Harden call. Here are 5 proposed rule changes that will benefit everyone.
Last week, the NBAruledagainst the HoustonRockets’ protest concerningJames Harden‘s made, but not scored, shot in San Antonio in early December, a contest that the HoustonRocketswound up losing to the Spurs, 135-133, in double overtime.
At the time of the controversial shot, the officials allegedly ruled that Harden’s fourth-quarter dunk attempt did not count because of “basket interference.” While the HoustonRocketshad a small window of time to challenge this call during a timeout in accordance with current league policies, the HoustonRocketswere too late to do so.
However, this brings the discussion to addressing the question of what the National Basketball Associationcoulddo differently in the future to empower on-site officiating crews to seek help in real time on a disputed made or missed shot call. But first, this is the story of what I saw that night inside the arena with my own eyes.
I don’t believe what I just saw…
They say history is truly told from primary, not secondary, sources. I would like to offer a brief first-hand description of the controversial events that transpired between theRocketsand Spurs on December 3rd at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
