I never suggested that Snaqwells was not telling the truth. I just didn't remember the Point of Emphasis, in force from 2000 to 2005, mandating that we call intentional fouls because the coach is yelling, "Foul". I believed that Snaqwells was a veteran (read old) official who may have remembered something from before I started officiating.
Jurassic Referee: Thanks for the citation.
Snaqwells: I'm sorry if you believed that I was questioning your honesty. I was really questioning my memory.
