Nova scored to take a 1 point lead with 2.2 seconds left. Unbelievably a foul is called for a 3 shot situation with 0.4 seconds remaining. A touch foul at best. Of course the shooter misses the first and then sinks the tieing and winning free throws. I have a problem with an official making a call that determines a winner of a game. Not surprisingly, Jim Burr is on the floor. I don't think he made the call but his penchant for having a hand in deciding the outcome of a game is becoming contagious to his partners. Although he is considered one of the best, he makes it a habit of having a hand in the outcome of close games. Burr should be replaced in the last 3 minutes of every game he works if the margin is less than 15 points.
