Before the statement by the NBA late Wednesday, league spokesman Brian
McIntyre said referees Joey Crawford, Joe Forte and Mark Wunderlich may have
been following a league guideline in failing to make a call.

"There is an explanation in the rule book," said McIntyre, "that there are
times during games when the degree of certainty necessary to determine a
foul involving physical contact is higher. That comes during impact time
when the intensity has risen, especially at the end of a game. In other
words, if you're going to call something then, be certain."

Gregg Popovich, concluding his 12th season as the Spurs' head coach, has
never heard of such an advisory in all his years of dealing with referees.
