Thanks M&M Guy. You said exactly what I was thinking when I asked my question.
Tomegun, I interpreted allow as the official saw the ball hit the wire and knew the ball should be dead but allowed play to continue and then was questioned/caught by the coach for not applying a rule properly. I did not read into the play the official allowed play to continue because of a mistake. That is why I asked if I was reading too much into the question.
BTW, I am good for a few mistakes per game myself.
