At times, this is not an easy call. In this situation, the ball went straight up and came straight down after hitting the wire. The trail official might not have had a good angle to determine if the ball hit the wire or his attention could have been diverted by the actions of the players. Furthermore, I would have issues with the refs/spectators who GUFFAWED at the refs error. Refs who are spectators should not display any emotion or offer any comments regarding the officials judgement. Your ref buds should know that only the officials on the floor can change the ruling in this situation
