Lonnie Dixon was suspended, for setting aside the rules and doing his own thing. When BYU made that tying basket, a player from New Mexico asked Dixon for a timeout. That's why you heard a whistle from Lonnie Dixon. Lonnie then realized that New Mexico was out of timeouts, and from what was said, he supposedly decided to play on like he hadn't blown his whistle. He finally openly admitted this to the Mountain West Conference Commissioner, and that was why he was suspended. BYU should have been shooting the technical free throws, resulting from the excessive time out being called, and then had the ensuing throw in. Just goes to show you; "Get the game right!"
