If you do, and you let the whole nation know he screwed up, then EVERY game, and i mean EVERY game, coaches and players are going to question his calls, and be continually on his @$$ because of it. It would essentially be forcing this guy to quit officiating.

It doesn't matter if the media knows and tells the punishment or not. Coaches are going to scrutinize Mr. Lopes more closely anyway. IMO, an official should be suspended for making a mistake that costs a game only when a coach is suspended for making a mistake that costs a game.
