The suspension is probably less than I would give. The rest of the season would be appropriate. I am sure he has a regular job. It is a case of integrity and this official seems to have lost it. D1 basketball is big business and jobs are on the lne every game. Officials, if anything, must be honest. I question that here. If you make a mistake be strong enough to admit it and correct the situation immediatly. It looks like he was not going to say anything until shown video and audio proof. Is that the type of person that should be maintaining the integrity of the game?
If he did not want to grant the time out at the very least, say inadverant whistle, do not give the "T" to the BYU player and play on.
Yes, it is a two way street, but we officials need to be above that and held to higher standards than to coaches whose jobs are on the line based on winning and losing.
I don't care who wins or loses and my mortgage payment is not on the line each time I step foot on the court.
