This is a tough crowd. I haven't met Richard or seen him on the court, but his posts are very thoughtful and show a good knowledge of the rules, game management, etc. 3 years HS ref is not the highest level of experience I have seen on this board, but its not the low end of this either. I am willing to bet that he carries himself well on the court, or will give him the benefit of the doubt absent any evidence to the contrary. I am not a ref, but . . . IMHO, lets cut him a little slack on the judgments here and see where he takes this one. Grant him the circumstances that occurred as stated - 2 refs, 2 whistles, 2 calls, neither ref knows for sure which came first. Now what do you do to make the right call?
