It was at the bottom of the article. Maybe you haven't go through until at the bottom of the page. Yeah, that was the issue and Marcial would be stepping in on it. But with all of those reactions that I've seen on fb, they're just making fun of the commissioner as if he's not respectable for his decisions, poor guy. And too bad for NorthPort, that game was for them until that call and free throw came, just 2 points at the end of the game which made their lose and that's the most disappointing part of any game. When they're close enough and then just lose because of unperfect call.
The call is very close and even how many replays it should be a let go call and allow the game to go to overtime, I don't see the reason why ref call this and change the direction of the game.
It's not going to be easy for everyone especially with Northport as they really played well on that final quarter with one controversial call they lose the game.
This very serious as ref can change the game but nt as obvious like this one, many disappointed
fans will surely react to this kind of action, very alarming to gambling side of this league.
But as for the sanctions, the referee has been charged and will be going home soon. As per spin.ph's article based from Marcial's statement.
