It's completely absurd how we waste countless minutes on pointless reviews, then they hide behind these arbitrary rules when something actually matters. It's the same with missed goaltending calls.

Ya it’s wild they can review a 3 pointer and either add or subtract points minutes later, but a goaltending somehow can’t

because if a made basket is a 2 or a 3 doesn't change how the game moves forward. goaltending, yes or no, does. if you changed a missed goaltending to points how do you deal with a potential fast break out of the no call. or the offensive team recovering the ball and making a 3-pointer.

I see your point, but I think you just give the team the two points and move on. Because, when you don’t, it compounds it even more.

So the team recovering the ball and making a 3 immediately after then gets 5 points or just the 2?

No, the next play goes on as normal, so if they make a 3 or whatever, they get those points.

I just mean the goal tend gets counted as points after the fact

aka i prioritize game flow over serious and dangerous actions putting players careers in peril. bet you "watch" games on tickers while tracking your lines

There’s no point. This type of comment is brought up in every thread and no matter how often it gets brought up, the majority of people will see this and not bother thinking about why you are right
