I knew who they were and what their resumes are. That speaks for itself.

I didn't want the conversation to focus on who called the game rather what the rationale was for passing on what I perceived to be obvious charge calls. Also the inconsistancy that I saw between those passes and the PC foul called shortly thereafter at the other end (again, I think it was the right call if taken alone, however in the context of the "passes" I find myself scratching my head). My commnet about the great crew was to acknowledge that the people working the game have reached the top, and I obviously can learn something from how they call a game. I am certaninly not in a position to judge their performance, but I am in a position to question my perception of how they called it. Maybe, I can take something away from studying their work.

If there are college assignors out there, that want charges passed on I have not come across them where I work or the camps that I have attended.

BTW... The crew (specifically D. Gray) did an excellent job of preventive officiating when McCants of NC thought about going postal after the foul on his dunk attempt. That was a foul and a good basketball play by the IU defender. It was a hard foul not because of maliciousness (sp?) but because of the speed and momentum involved in the play. The officials stayed right with them and very quickly steered McCants away before he decided to blow up.
