NBA: Refs' call at end of Bulls-Nuggets game was correct

Posted Nov 11 2009 12:59PM

NEW YORK (AP) -- The NBA says the review that overturned a winning shot by Chicago's Brad Miller was correct and handled appropriately.

Referees looked at video replay for about three minutes before determining that Miller's shot came after the final buzzer, giving Denver a 90-89 victory Tuesday. Though a review is supposed to be completed in a two-minute period, crew chief Mark Wunderlich then asked the truck if there were any additional angles.

He was provided with the overhead view that showed the ball was still on Miller's fingertips at the buzzer.

NBA spokesman Tim Frank says "the replay was handled by the book and the referee made the right decision," adding there was no issue with the officials taking extra time.

Wow the league actually ruling for the nuggets? Are we moving up the ladder in Sterns book?

Nuggets to sign Keith Brumbaugh ....

I was surfing hoopshype.com today, and right at the top of rumors is a twitter from Edge Sports: Client Keith Brumbaugh to sign with the Denver Nuggets. Twitter.com .

After more research, this guy could be a interesting pickup.He played in the D league(stats here) last year and although his numbers dont pop out, I have to believe our front office is looking at him as another hidden gem who wants a 2nd shot (he was a top 5 college recruit 3 years ago). He's 6'10, 210 lbs, 22 years old and plays sg/sf. He's supposedly a lethal shooter and has crazy athleticism. Here is some interesting write ups I found on him:

As trainer Scott Savor put Brumbaugh through a workout last month, Brumbaugh doesn't look like he spent two years away from organized basketball. The southpaw drains jumpers, dunks without remorse and shows off the left hand that made him only the second high-schooler to serve as a counselor at Michael Jordan's camp. The other? LeBron James. Near the end of the workout, Savor orders a drill called "Total Domination." Savor calls the name of a player, and Brumbaugh must impersonate how that player would win a game at the buzzer. Savor yells "Tim Duncan," and Brumbaugh banks in a 16-footer high off the glass. Savor yells "John Stockton," and Brumbaugh fakes a bounce pass before hitting a jumper from the elbow. Savor yells "Tony Parker," and Brumbaugh slices into the lane and drops in a floater.

Im not sure if you guys have ever looked at Altitude's website and checked out the bio's of the crew, but i was bored and found out some funny tidbit's, here's a highlight:

"Scott Hastings Favorite band: Tie between Pink Floyd, the Doors, Cake and Partridge Family."

"Chris Marlowe also enjoyed a successful beach volleyball career, winning the 1977 World Championships of Beach Volleyball and the prestigious Manhattan Beach Open in 1976 and 1977. He was inducted into the California Beach Volleyball Hall of Fame in 1994."

Blake Olsen " Blake lists his hobbies as spending time with his family, enjoying political discussions, dablling in drawing and design, and listening to R & B and Gospel music."

"Julie Browman's Favorite band: Creed (despite the fact that they broke up), Favorite movie overall: The Gladiator"

Hopefully nobody takes offense some of this stuff cracked me up though.
