Fast forward to the last minute of a tied game...will that exact same little bump under the exact same circumstances get a whistle? My guess is for most officials the answer would be no.

You told them the first time they started to get "chippy". Why did you wait to the Second Quarter to finally put air in your whistle? One "talking to" and then the whistle.
