If he would have had the balls to admit during that game that he had an inadvertant whistle and then handled it there, no matter what he did he would probably still be working.
I'll agree with this. I also want to add again that I haven't seen the play, so I can't really comment on whether the T was warranted. I'm only saying that the conclusion that there was an inadvertent whistle doesn't mean the T wasn't warranted. It may be that it wasn't warranted, for other reasons combined with the IW, but the IW alone doesn't excuse the player from running onto the court.
