Well, Rich, everybody gets their opinion and this is where ours differ. I'll give any official the benefit of the maximum doubt until I either hear their side of the story or I can find out more of the details of everything that happened. Until that time, I'd never dream of second-guessing them publicly. I've been on the other side before too, and I've heard comments like "even his fellow officials say he was wrong".
I usually try to place myself in the official's shoes. And I never could really see any official taking a dive in a high-profile game like that.
