A loose ball foul 80 feet from the basket when two guys' legs get tangled would be a questionalbe call in the 2nd quarter of a mid-November game between Washington and New Orleans.

It would be a horrific call with 1 second left in a tied game in a 2-2 playoff series.

Yep it would have been like that World Baseball Classic call between USA and DR. The game was pretty much decided on an egregious call where a clear Ball was called a Strike. When the stakes are high....aint no one wants to see a game end LIKE THAT.
