I don't understand why some officials that call a foul with three minutes left in the game will not call the same foul a foul with second(s) left in the game. (i.e. Rich Fronheiser's comments in the Heinz 57 forum/post.) I've heard the comment that I (the official) don't want to determine the outcome of the game. If you don't whistle a foul when it is there with seconds left, then you are determining the outcome of the game--by penalizing one team and rewarding the other team...is that not helping determine the outcome of the game. Just because you pass on a call does not "relieve you from determining the outcome of the game". Would like to hear reply from official(s) who disagrees with this and why passing on a obvious foul with a second or so left releived you from any responsibility.
