Shinhan Bank of Women's Basketball filed a strong complaint with WKBL, saying the buzzer beater from the KB match on the 26th was a bad call





Shinhan Bank, the women's professional basketball team, strongly raised the issue of KB's buzzer-beater winning goal against KB Stars on the 26th, saying it was misjudged by WKBL.

In KB's last attack, which began with 0.7 seconds left before the end of the game, Kang Yi-seul caught the ball in the paint zone and shot it, and as the goal sucked in the rim, KB won a dramatic come-from-behind victory by one point. In response, a Shinhan Bank official said "If you look at the slow screen, time did not pass properly until Kang Yi-seul grabbed the ball and shot a turning shot, but it passed from the moment he shot." It is a clear misjudgment because more than a second has already passed before shooting. In response, we strongly asked WKBL to hold a briefing session for referees, disciplinary action against referees and recorders, and official apologies and measures to prevent recurrence."




The referee made a video review after Kang Yi-seul's goal was successful because it was such a moment, and after confirming that the shot left the hand for 0.2 seconds, it was a buzzer-beater. However, in this situation, it seems that it was difficult to judge whether time passed properly from the moment Kang Yi-seul caught the ball.

In response, a WKBL official said "In principle, from the moment the player clearly catches the ball, it is confirmed that Si-won presses the button after receiving the pass accurately." However, since it is done by humans, even if the time source did its best based on accuracy, there is a reaction speed and instantaneous delay may occur"We will hold a judgment briefing soon to explain it to Shinhan Bank and review follow-up measures accordingly."
