Oh, I agree - that part doesn't look good at all.
Because of his experience, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt on:
1) Knowing the proper procedure.
2) Applying it properly given the information that was available on the monitor.
Given what's been posted, the officials didn't get the procedure correct. And that's been shown by the fact they have been reprimanded to some extent. I was only giving them the benefit of the doubt because they are the best at what they do; no different than any other D-1 or NBA ref. That doesn't mean they're infallible; they screw up like we do, only probably less often.
