No, I don't think that he just made a mistake. That would be the case if he had simply blown an inadvertant whistle and said, "Sorry, guys, my fault."
But he flat lied about it and let a kid get penalized because he wasn't man enough to own up to it. He let someone else take the blame for his screw up. That's just plain wrong. IMO he shouldn't be working D1 basketball anymore. There is no place for individuals with questionable ethics at that level.
