Looks like he did not get a very good video to train with. I don't see any communication or discussion going on, just dictating by the referee. As a wing, I make the call I see. I will discuss it with my crew if there is some disagreement and then I should decide whether to pick up the flag. If my Referee on my crew acted like this Referee did, he would be looking for a new wing. To just blatantly say we are not going to call a foul that is clearly a foul is unacceptable. He did not even get any input from the other officials and made his mind up before he even got together with the rest of the crew.
