What do we expect? You don't blow the whistle until you reached 5 visible counts. This is a very basic officiating skill and it's inexcusable to blow that simple of a call at that level. This isn't a judgment call we are talking about...
I have no dog in this fight, but it's ok to acknowledge that the official kicked it.
