The Pool Report interview was conducted by Rod Boone (Charlotte Observer) with Crew Chief Sean Wright following tonight’s Miami Heat at Charlotte Hornets Game.

QUESTION:  Why was the 3-pointer by Kyle Lowry at 2:03 not reviewed?

WRIGHT: By rule, the basket by Lowry must be reviewed at the next clock stoppage which was at the 2:00 mark.  Once the ball was inbounded by Charlotte, by rule, the window to review the shot was now closed.

QUESTION:  Replays clearly showed Lowry’s foot over the line. Why was more caution not exercised and a review called for by the crew to ensure the ruling is correct?

WRIGHT:  The crew has to have doubt in order to stop the play.  Unfortunately, we did not have doubt at this time, which is the reason we didn’t stop the play.

QUESTION: So, you have to have doubt.

WRIGHT: We had to doubt it to stop the play.
