Good God, when have either of you worked the NCAA tournament? You gave an opinion, I countered it with a real world example, you dismiss it and then say I'm wrong. Don't quote a rule and twist semantics. The call was blown and the other ref made the reversal. The calling ref was never involved in changing the call. He ran up court when the other ref signalled the ball the other way. The could have punched each otherout after the game...I don't care...the call happened contrary to your belief.

You are right; I have not ever worked a single NCAA Tournament game at any level. I just attended a camp where D1 Officials runs the camp and worked a National Championship game in 1999, and he never once suggested doing what you "claim" you saw. But the last time I checked, you do not work basketball. But you keep referencing this play in the NCAA Tournament. We have guys that live right in our back yard, you could ask them. You do not have to take my word for it. You can ask guys that work D1 basketball and they will tell you for themselves what happen

By the way, find the section in the Official Rules of Major League baseball that allow for the crew to get together and change a judgement call.

Well, when I work a Major League baseball game, I will worry about those procedures. As a football and basketball official, we do not do many things the NFL or NBA teaches. As a matter of fact, we are told to not use them as an example at all. But you probably know that better than I would.

Good night ladies.

Never once in this discussion did I try to belittle you. I stuck to the facts and my side of the discussion. I can see that you have shown once again you lack class. Maybe this is why people feel the way they do about your organization. You sure are representing those guys really well with comments like that.

Peace
