Bobcats want a do-over

by Matt W on Jan 14, 2008 4:37 AM CST Comment 7 comments

With Miami being granted a rare do-over last week, Bobcats coach Sam Vincent wants one of his own: he wants to file a protest over a basket interference call that went against Emeka Okafor in the final seconds of Charlotte's loss to Detroit. Chances of it happening? Slim to none. Miami's happened because the scoring crew was negligent. This call happened because it was a heat-of-the-moment judgment call. (update: here's video if you want to see it again)

Biljoy: if only for the joy of seeing them lose. Classless jerks. I seriously hope this doesn’t spark a new trend in the NBA. (if the call was dodgy, let’s have a do over!)

I got one thing to say to the good people of Charlotte, the whole Bobcats organization, and all the players, coaches, and fans…

Mbenga: Miami had an important player wrongly removed from the game in crunch time. That’s about as common as a team getting an extra down or losing a down in football as a result of field crew error. It’s rare. The NBA did the right thing, and while it may spark more protests in the short-term (see: Bobcats) for bad calls, it won’t develop into a trend, because these were extenuating circumstances for Miami having to remove Shaq, not a bad call on a play. I doubt this happens again anytime soon.
