That's terrible advice imo. Just call the game. Officials aren't supposed to influence the result of any game. We aren't supposed to insert out personal philosophies into any call that may give a team an unfair advantage not intended by the rules. |
btw, if you look at the video, after Chris Webber rebounds the bball, he committed a traveling violation. According to your theory, if the "officials aren't supposed to influence the result of the game," the new T should have called a traveling first, correct????" It looks to me that right there and then, a NCAA championship official didn't call a traveling and gave Michigan an "unfair advantage".
How come the officials didn't get any crap for not calling the travel violation? It is because he's exercising judgement that FITS THE GAME!!!!!!!!
Here's a link to that travelling and timeout
