Actually, I have reasonable knowledge of officiating and have many friends that do officiate. ACC officiating has gone straight down hill in the last decade. I watch games that I have no interest in and i see numerous errors.... many more so than other leagues. Officials are often out of position, the wrong official is making a call, the officiating doesn't remain consistant throughout the game.
I was agreeing with you that you have to enforce the rules, but Melvin's contact was incidental and therefore should not have been called an intentional. But it's over...
Btw, I make split second calls everyday I am at work, so I know how hard they can be... I really do respect what you do, it is not easy at all. You guys have a lot of pressure put on you everyday. Most of you are very good at what you do to, I was just making a comment on this particular call and the state of ACC officiating.
And why don't you like cops... That is such BS.... You must have gotten a speeding ticket you didn't deserve, yeah right. The only people who dislike cops are criminals... 90-95% of the people who say they were wronged by the police are liars, and I feel bad for the other 5-10%. I do everything in my power to make sure that I never do that. I work narcotics, both uniformed, plain clothes, and undercover. I see the worst of the world... If police officers weren't around, I would hate to see what you block would look like. Yet, you aren't fond of cops, what a joke. How about we all just take a day off of work and see how much more you'll like us then.
