So because he is an offical, we can't critize him? It was obvious that it wasn't a double dribble (although from where he was he may not have seen it).

Are you serious? Are you an official? There is a difference between pointing out a mistake and blaming the official for BLOWING a call and "almost costing" the game. Did the official then turn around and play poor defense to allow them to score four "unanswered" points? It's ironic that you blame the official for the unanswered points, but not the five guys on the court who could 1. play defense and stop those points or 2. score at the other end. Give me a break!
Big deal if he missed a double dribble call either by calling one that shouldn't have been or missing one that should have been called. One violation doesn't change the course in a game. If that were the case, we would be looking at the TV monitors during a lot of out of bounds calls too. Or we could just look at replay after each whistle.
