It was not a travel, and let him know that there is a reason you are doing college games. GET WITH THE TIMES!!!!!
Kidkj,
We only heard what this guy saw. Has anyone wondered WHY he was watching 'outside' his coverage area? This is the first red flag!
This guy is upset that he's not 'one of the guys'. Has anyone wondered why? Maybe, it has nothing to do with working college! Red flag number two!
Officiating college doesn't automatically qualify a person as a 'superior' referee. Until an official works in the NCAA Division 1 Championship Tournament, we (or himself) should never consider them 'superior'. We have several 'college' guys that make me cringe when I see them work high school.
Did anyone besides myself realize that the 'college' official goes to the dressing room at halftime and he criticizes his partner for a 'missed' call. This guy doesn't show me the diplomacy that a 'superior' official should have shown. Doesn't it make sense to ask the partner what he 'saw' on the play and to make sure he understood the rule interpretation before telling him he 'missed' it? Red flag number three!!!
What if the calling official, with the angle HE had, had made the correct call? After all, we must admit, the original post only gave us the 'college' official's point-of-view? And his view was 'outside' his primary coverage area (or he would have over-ruled his partner). So we get his angle which evidently was a long way from the play. Another red flag!
I would love to hear the other's side on this story. I think there is more to it than what we have been told!!!!!!!!!
