Here's Why Brad Miller's Game Winner Should Have Counted


By rule, to reverse a call via replay there needs to be indisputable evidence. The Bulls' Brad Miller hit an apparent game winner with three tenths of a second left on the clock but after long deliberation between the refs and the replay monitors the shot was called off.

No, in my opinion Brad Miller did not get the shot off, but (and this is huge) the refs originally said he did. In a situation like this, if it's too close to call on the screen then the original call stands. Without conclusive evidence I don't understand how the refs felt comfortable taking the win right out of the Bulls hands.
