Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3669037, member: 1220"] If you watch using stop action you can see that the heel does for an instant come down and that the space between the heel and the line disapears then reappears. Using common sense will tell you that if you are elevating for a jump shot off both feet your heel has to come down in order to plant your heel to push off of. Other wise you are just jumping using your calf muscles. While it is possible it is highly improbable to do other wise. I am sure she was not aware that her heel was over the line so why would she feel it important never to plant her heel. We can agree that it was not obvious enough for officials to feel inclined to change the call. Officals will usually not want to eliminate such a great play and exciting ending to a game unless it is so obvious that they have to change it. I will bet that they did see what I saw and just chose to ignore it. After all anything that helps to sell the game is important. [/QUOTE]
