The WNBL has hinted a controversial finish to game two of the league's grand final series would have had a different result under a video review system.
Canberra coach Paul Goriss said after his team's 74-73 loss to Adelaide on Wednesday night that "everyone will see the truth" about a contentious shot which sent the series into a deciding third game.
The Capitals' boss remains convinced Lightning star Nicole Seekamp released her matchwinning basket after the buzzer.
In a short statement released on Thursday, the WNBL said the call to allow the shot had to stand.
"Through the current broadcast technology the league does not have the capacity to implement an Instant Replay System and has not for the past two seasons," the statement read.
"The league looks forward to another packed AIS Arena for game three."
It was a frantic final five seconds to the encounter as Adelaide's Lauren Nicholson travelled before offloading the ball to Seekamp for the buzzer-beating shot.
The WNBL failed to address the missed call in its statement.
Gorris was furious in his post-match press conference, calling the refereeing "flabbergasting".
"Everybody just go back and watch the film. Everybody go back and watch the light (on the scoreboard) light up (with the ball still in Seekamp's hands)," he said.
"I'm at a loss to know some of the calls and some of the situations that people were put under."
Then when asked whether Nicholson should have been called for a double dribble or carrying violation in that frenetic last play, Goriss replied: "I think you just answered that yourself so there's no reason to ask me."
Goriss expressed his pride in his players - led by Kelsey Griffin (24 points, 23 rebounds) - who now prepare for the decider in the nation's capital on Saturday.
"I'm proud of the girls being able to put in this performance under trying circumstances," he said.
"There were some things that were just totally out of our control that changed the game."
