Phil Jackson’s whining about the calls in the last minute of the Bulls-Pacers Game 4 was disgraceful. What ever happened to a good loser?

One point that was never discussed was the non-call on Michael Jordan’s last shot. Since it didn’t go in, it’s academic, but the referees ruled that the shot was released in time, although there was only 0.7 seconds left. That’s just enough time for a catch-and-shoot. If the shot had gone in, would Jackson have pointed out that the referees gave the Bulls a break? I doubt it.
