    • @jmcminn1076
      @jmcminn1076 10 месяцев назад +64

      Actually, this was signaled correctly. A basketball referee will put one arm up to signal a 3 point attempt, which this was, and then put the second arm up “touchdown” style to signal good three pointer if the shot goes down. It’s kind of an irrelevant signal here, but on a normal shot where foot on the line or behind it is a call, the score keeper can look for the ref AFTER the basket to see the 3 point signal.

    • @mikeratkiewicz6720
      @mikeratkiewicz6720 10 месяцев назад +6

      A three pointer is the same as a touchdown.

    • @cloudwatcher724
      @cloudwatcher724 9 месяцев назад +3

      agree with the subsequent commentors on the official's mechanics. however, the trailing official's mechanics in this video are off by a little bit. at the time of the shot (desperation heave), the official's left hand should have gone up immediately. it is particularly relevant in this situation because not only does it indicate a valid three-point shot, he would also be indicating that the shot, in his judgment, did in fact "beat the buzzer" and is therefore a legal shot. some ref instructors will even advise that the official say out loud, "good if it goes!" just so everyone knows. i'm kinda 50/50 on that one; seems a little dramatic. anyway, kudos to the player and the official.

    • @Big_Bag_of_Pus
