Without divulging too much info., there was quite an argument in the locker room that day in Bloomington between Hightower, Valentine, and O'Neill. Suffice it to say that you did not see any games worked by a crew that included Valentine AND Hightower for a number of years since that incident.

Most guys at that level are Type A personalities. You cannot tell Hightower, Valentine, Welmer, Higgins, Burr, etc. what to call or where. They will call what they want in their primary and in yours too, if needed. However, they are correct (for the most part) a lot more than others and have the experience to back it up.

Ultimately, coaches aren't as concerned with who calls the foul, as long as it is called correctly.

Donald Trump was interviewed on Larry King the other night. He said that anyone who is very successful has an ego. Same thing in officiating.
