The NBA has that center in Secaucus, NJ. They handle reviews and are watching all games. There should be a "for the good of the game" rule.
If a play like that happens the head ref would get buzzed saying, review that shit, you potentially missed a big one there.
I get great satisfaction from the image of refs wearing shock collars. That would be a much better use of the fan vote than is the all-star ballot.
I really like this idea. In this scenario, I'm assuming the buzz wouldn't come until after a deadball?
If that is the case the big questions becomes: If you reverse the call, do you go back and pick the game back up from where the event in the replay occured or do you take the corrective action? I'm guessing you'd have erase everything that happened prior to the missed call, right?
Two examples come to mind: 1) Jeopardy doesn't take points away from one player when reversing the decision about another player getting the answer wrong, even through the second player wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to ring in otherwise. 2) Our infamous 6-man play against Boston several years ago. We got two points out of the play, they got one point for the technical freethrow resulting. In both cases, there's no effort to unwind the mistake.
