BACKSTORY: THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL FINISH IN SPORTS HISTORY

Before the 1972 Olympics, the U.S. Men’s basketball team was considered the favorite to win gold. Some say they did. Only thanks to one of the most controversial finishes in sports history, they came home without the gold. Larry Potash digs into “3 seconds in Munich” in this Backstory piece.

R. William Jones should have gone into Hiding after this Game !!!

That was an intentional very dangerous defensive hard foul from below with the offensive player in the air on way to the basket. Therefore, it should have been after the free throws, USA keeps the ball. That was the first cheat. The illegal time out, second cheat. The first additional 3 seconds, the third cheat. The second additional 3 seconds, the fourth cheat.
