One of the things I have noticed about some of the "big dog" officials over the years is their lack of communication with their partners during games. I was at the morning session of the first day games in Portland, OR, and watched one of the crews have some interesting communication problems. One of the officials tried to talk with a partner several times during dead ball situations, and the partner turned and walked away all three times! So when that partner needed some information on a call later on, there was none provided. Sounds like this was the same kind of situation - one of the partners should have come and helped out, but didn't.
And scrapper - why are we resetting on an airball if the same team keeps possession???
