This is the problem coaches have with refs

Where is the good officials who know how to handle a game. They look at the clock see the horn and foul were so close and he waives it off and goes to overtime. Another official in the same tournament made a critical technical foul call that determined the outcome because a team got their replacement in for a foul out player one second too late. Where is the good official who uses preventive officiating: he goes into the huddle and says "give me a sub right now coach." I call this preventive officiating. The guys who do best on their rules tests I have found to have the worst management of these situations.

I also officiate - I call the foul look at the clock and heard the horn - see the game is tied. I don't make the foul call - say overtime. Ref's know the situation and use common sense.
