cutting down a cyber tree to fill up this thread. The ball was already loose in DA’s hands, not to mention that the hand/fingers are part of the ball. If not, Wilt, Shaq, et al, would still be shooting FTs as even Houdini couldn’t slap at the ball without contacting 1 or 4 of Shaq’s fingers.
Go to the CBS videos, which I can’t link, and you’ll see DA signaling you by not disputing the obvious call one iota. You’ll also catch ALL THREE refs trying to get your attention by immediately setting up the NoCar inbounds play after their obvious call, without even so much as glancing back at press row and the replay recorders.
As to your fantasy dream sequence of Mara being yanked by an invisible hand on an obvious travel, I’d suggest you Google a videotape of Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly doing the Mara shuffle on a sound stage with Ginger Rogers.
Good luck on your Monty Python quest and I genuinely hope that your next vision test at the DMV is pushed off for at least a couple of decades.
