I think this is where the situation went pear shaped. The first story was based on the "We don't get paid for overtime" comment (article was titled "No Overtime Pay, No Overtime Play"). Seems to me one of the officials was trying to be funny or was just plain careless in a heated moment. Sans this comment I think the headline would have read more like "Officials Confuse OT Rule, Game Should Have Continued" and they would have been in A LOT less hot water.
