This guy knocked down two birds with one stone, one no-call. He hits the C with a T and half the parents are going to be piss at him for getting that T so late in a 1 point game. In HS or college, that could've ended his career. It turned out that the team still lost, so preserving that T saved the coaches face with his supporters.

That again ties for the stoopidest post ever on this forum.
Not giving a deserved "T" doesn't preserve the integrity of anything. It just points out that an official has no balls. You
never walk away from a direct insult.
That's another great statement. Don't call a deserved "T" because it might piss of the fans. And if you do piss off the fans, that's gonna end your career.
You've now gone past the point of "that's so dumb that you just have to laugh at it" and you're approaching "Good Lord, have you ever
seen a damn basketball game, let alone officiated in one?".
