How is it that the Flash are 9-7 when the stats show we are 9-8?
Several weeks ago during an away game against the Colorado 14ers we noticed that with 25.2 seconds left the staff fouled out Bill Walker who was on assignment with us from the Celtics. The problem was that according to our records Bill only had 5 fouls not the 6 that the score table was showing. Given the game altering mistake, we officially protested the game with the league asking them to consider allowing us to replay the last 25.2 seconds of regulation.
These seconds were critical because the game was tied and we lost on a buzzer beater by Eddie Gill.
For Basketball fans you may remember last year a similar issue occured in a Heat/Hawks game (Read Here).
Our position with the league was that this situation was no different. Bill Walker should have been allowed to stay in the game. Unfortunately, due to mistakes on the part of the Colorado staff it potentially cost us the game. Everyone makes mistakes and the ball doesn't lie, so let's see what happens in April when we replay the final 25.2 seconds.

Where I come from they call that being a sore looser. Maybe you are jsut a looser.
"Anonymous", I think your comments are out of line. If you are going to make a comment like that, at least fess up to who you are. If that last 25 seconds makes a difference in the game, which in turn makes a difference in Mr. Anderson's business, then it should be done fairly. Sounds to me like YOU are the "loser"
Where I come from, you own up to what you say.

Hansens, I hop you are happy. What a joke for a team that is unlikely to make the D League playoffs to make such crazy thing over this. NOw i know Anersen is a sore looser. He probably had you right that
Anon-
First, learn how to spell. Second of all how is the Flash a joke of a team? They lead the league in several categories both on and off the court and were selected to host the showcase in their second year.
Mr. Andersen requested the "redo" and obvious the league saw it was important enough to grant a replay of the last 25 seconds. If it was just Mr. Andersen being a sore loser, the league would have laughed at him. Obviously they see the importance of Bill Walker to the team and the importance of the last 25 seconds of a tied game.
Get a life Anon. Good work Mr. Andersen.
You can think whatever you want.
Just an FYI it is spelled "Write", and Mr. Andersen doesn't have any idea who I am.
