Let me help you out here a little bit, JMO. NCAA officials use a mechanics book. That tells them how to be in the right place at the right time. NFHS officials have their own mechanics book. That also tells them how to be in the right place at the right time. Rec league officials don't know that these previously mentioned mechanics books even exist, let alone the fact that there are actually such things like real live rule books also(). That's why they remain rec league officials forever and all time.

An NCAA official may occasionally be out of position. That may cost him sometimes too, as in a situation like this. That doesn't make him a poor official though. If he was a poor official, he would have been long-gone by now. Poor officials don't last at that level.

You aren't qualified to comment on any official, let alone a D1 official.
