The body language of the two refs, the first ref is aggressive and posturing like NO GOOD, ignoring everything that just happened in the play, but the second ref is clearly in that moment about to reach for his flag but he's "paused" by that second crossed arm NO GOOD signal, and so he relaxes his ENTIRE body and defers to the first ref, but only after the first ref makes that second NO GOOD signal, for emphasis.

Ignore everything else, just read the body language of the two refs. The second ref was about to pull the flag, ,but the first ref (the grey haired one) over ruled him.

It also shows #60 pick up his step
Hurryover to #13 and point at him

I'm not saying it was a good throw or decision, but the refs blew that one as well.

CC is right. Perfect design. Flawed execution.

This has been my argument. Im a big UK fan and there are refs that live in Kentucky that are not allowed to call a UK basketball game. Does not make any sense.

Clear view that the ball was not tipped and it had a tight spiral. If refs are judged on performances, still no excuse for 4 refs from California place in the dome instead of being assigned to the chiefs games. Funny thing is that the Los Angeles area still not going to support the NFL (national fraud league)
