It's a pretty safe bet that the kid who threw the punch in this video is a "troublemaker" that my crew and I would have identified much earlier in the game. THAT guy gets my attention whenever and wherever he is on the floor. I'd like to think that I would not miss this if I were the C - however, I can't see thru players backs...These are the kinds of players and plays that can get you fired! I would DEFINITELY be watching him

btw...it took me 4 viewings before I saw what needed to seen. Good officials don't just officiate in a "vacuum" - they have a feel for the game and don't get surprised.
