Cory's Corner: NBA Proves Why You Can't Trust Replay
I have always toyed with the idea of employing instant replay for pass interference.I quickly changed my mind after watching the NBA Finals debacle on Thursday night.
The refs originally ruled that Kevin Durant had committed a charge when there was contact between him and LeBron James. The crew then wasn’t sure if James was in the defensive restricted area and decided to make sure by looking at it on replay. Since they were looking at it, they decided that James wasn’t in the correct defensive position and reversed the call.
The reason why this is so egregious is because the NBA is taking the whistle out of its own referees on the floor. So with 36.4 seconds left, technology won the day.
