Coach, what Rut said about officials getting together to try and get the call correct is pretty much standard procedure across the country, I think.And it's the right procedure too. However, the referee then really should have got both head coaches together and explained the change, imo. A quick 10-second explanation can save everybody a lot of grief. It's as simple as saying "We discussed it, and the right call is a 2 pointer because there was a foot on the line". That's really all that was needed. Because they didn't do that doesn't mean that they were wrong though. None of us can say that, not having seen it.
