What is STILL wrong here is that they recind the fine, admitting it was a bad call, and yet still fine Doc for saying "Bad call" ... this league neds some re-tooling, and soon. This has happened a few time this year, with the officials basically admitting their wrong ... while it's admirable that they're admitting their fallability, and while it's a step in the right direction, it's also another recurring symptom of a system in chaos.

Thing is, it's not even the officials admitting they're wrong, it's the league office overruling the call.  So even that silver lining isn't there. 

Man, seeing Scal on that top 10 clip reminds me he should've been on there yesterday for his clean block of Josh Smith - too bad they made an anticipation/reputation call on that play instead.

Yeah nothing changed. Doc still got fined for nothing and we still lost the game. Points weren't taken back or the rest of the game replayed from that point on. No just said they gave us a loss and too bad. FantasDicks!

  • Law mercy!
My gripe is that they don't reveal the amount of the fine (if any) that Salvatore received.  His mistake(s) changed the game dramatically and that should be "publicly punished" just like any coach or player is.
