Maybe!
For those of you who officiate football, what did you think of this call? This is one of the few times that an official's call actually did change the outcome of a game. The guy thinks the game is over, so he begins celebrating. It certainly wasn't taunting, as he was yelling at the crowd. I understand that there is a rule in place that prohibits removing a helmet, but should it have been enforced at that point of the contest? It seems like T'ing up a coach for stepping out on the floor (as the horn sounds at the end of regulation) to see if the opponent's desparation 3-pointer goes in. Any thoughts?

I don't work football, but I think it was the right call.
It was so obvious that I think you have to make that call. Can you imagine the conversation with his super on Monday if he didn't??

The bogus call I thought was the KC guy who got hurt, and took his helmet off as he was rolling around in pain on the ground. The guy was hurt, cut him some slack.
