There you have it, everytime an official makes any error whatsoever they shall be taken into the parking lot, hogtied and whipped, at the discretion of the League, with valuable imput from the losing team. That will fix their butt.
Totally two different incidents at totally two different levels of play.
Although, there was one common coincidence here, both of the whinners, were the losing teams.
