And JR, you are right that I had no choice. The hitting of the ball clearly disadvantaged the thrower who was trying to make a pass at that moment. I didn't hesitate. As for my joking complaint about the double OT: sometimes you have to work a little harder to do it right.

I commend you for doing it right. Many officials would have taken the easy way out. You did exactly what the ruling suggest, took some courage on your part.
Peace
