CONTROVERSIAL BUZZER BEATER: IN TIME? 2 OR 3? MASSENA WINS 54-53


Unfortunately this shot is a bit close-in to see, but there were two controversies on the same shot!  With Massena leading 54-51, Potsdam's Mike Coleman took this shot at the buzzer, originally called a valid three-pointer by one official, but the second official father away ruled the Coleman's toes were on the line.  Massena also challenged whether the shot was even released in time. After discussion, the officials ruled the shot was good, but a two-pointer for a 54-53 final.  A videotape reportedly showed Coleman's toes were not inside the line before releasing the shot.  Potsdam indicated they will file a complaint with the league next week.
