In Brief

Upon further review …

The Georgia High School Association may look into a rule change that would allow TV replays to be reviewed for last-second shots in state championship basketball games.

“That’s interesting,” GHSA spokesman Steve Figueroa said Sunday. “We’ve already got the technology to do it, since all of our championship games are already televised by GPTV. But it would have to be brought up in a board meeting and discussed before any [GHSA] actions could be taken.”

The National Federation of State High School Associations approved the rule change, which is not mandatory for state associations. It would let referees review if the ball left the shooter’s hand before the final buzzer or whether a shot was a 2- or 3-pointer.

The change was prompted by controversial finishes in 2008 championship games in South Carolina, Ohio and Michigan.

Television showed a man wearing a McLaren team shirt and wig, with dark makeup on his face, arm and hands. It’s the same Spanish track where a group of spectators jeered and insulted Hamilton, F1’s first black driver, at testing in February 2008.
