Later in the match 1266 was heavy defense on 987; however, they drove up onto 987 for a solid 4-5 seconds making obvious contact inside their frame perimeter.

They loaded for me. My opinion of this is an unfortunate truth of the reffing process: if a ref doesn't actually see 330's intake in there and physically snapping the belt, then how can they be certain that that's why the belt broke? As I did earlier in this thread (or another thread, I don't remember...), I'm simply playing the necessary devil's advocate in this discussion and am making no accusations whatsoever. We had this come into question at Mt. Olive, and unfortunately, since the ref didn't actually see the damage occur, it can't be called. Obviously, I can't speak for the refs at San Diego, but I empathize with them in that frame perimeter damage is one of the toughest things to call.
