Go back and watch the whistle blowing incident again, which cost La Salle a point in a one point win. What kind of call was that anyway? It was NOT an intentional fake. He did not go over the ten second limit. The ball did NOT ever leave Rodney Green's hands. Is it really up to the ref's discretion to take the possession away like that? If so, the refs used poor judgment. There were no La Salle players in the lane. We didn't even line up to rebound/foul SJ at all, we were already under the SJ basket playing defense.
I am not a ref basher, I just want to understand what the precedent or justification was. The SJU box score is fishy too. It says Deadball Rebound, Turnover Rodney Green. Really? It seems even the home team was confused by the refs lack of good judgment. Don't know what else to call it.

Saw a similar play occur in the NBA. The NBA refs allowed a do over, just because it wasn't any sort of blatant violation. These refs should have given Rodney Green, too, the same benefit of the doubt.
Also, Tasheed Carr's technical in the first half had gifted La Salle 2 pts, which proved to be a huge difference maker in the final result, cutting into their 11 pt lead and giving La Salle some much needed momentum. La Salle made every shot it could in that game and still only won by one, so thanks to Tasheed Carr for giving La Salle those two necessary free throws!
