Dead Ball Losing Focus
I don't feel like there (is/should be) too much controversy in this clip. I think there are some great teaching points from this clip:
1.) Dead ball officiating has to be on point...even if the game in hand is not close. While the lead and the center should have had this....the center leaves early...and the lead loses focuses for a second. And it costs him.
2.) If you are the center official who has a double whistle here...you can't be in too much of a hurry after the call...even if you feel the lead should have it.
3.) If any of the officials has information on a play like this, one should speak up immediately...and not take whatever they have into the locker room...where that information will be of no use to the crew.

Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
