I mean, there's no film of the opposing coach going all Molalla on the officials or anything. Even the announcers didn't notice that it was a mistake.

Not saying it can't happen, but I've never had reflections prevent me seeing the line from where I stand as a referee. They would be more of an issue at the angle the camera is coming from. Plus the video quality is pretty poor, it being a YouTube video and all.
