I would have been angry - not so much because of the botched ruling - but because he sprinted to the locker room and left his two partners on the floor.

Once the OT ended, what was the post game like?

I imagine it was quick.

Bummer dude!
Everything you did was perfect right up till you humiliated that guy in the locker room... Just be grateful he wasn't having a really bad day and decided to go back at you - would have been a real mess; regardless of who was right or who would have won the pissing contest.

Its over now - I applaud you for even bringing it up on this forum... I have new pregame material.

Just like the experience I had some years back that has now been viewed over 48K times.

I never once raised my voice, though.

True, but if it gets posted again you have no one to blame but yourself.

Take the heat, own it, learn, and move on.

I think the important thing is the crew got it right in the end. It may have been worse had you not called him on it.

Somebody needs to post it since there are new guys who have no clue what y'all are talking about.

Agreed. I'm always up for learning from (what sounds like) others' mistakes.

Here's a link

One of our own was the official administering this throw in, not the one who made the call.

Rich, can you remind us: Were there ANY repercussions for the official who went all Al Haig on that play? Any scolding form the assignor, any reduction in quality assignments, any similar tales pop up of him fouling something up?

This isn't necessarily to beat up on him. (He does that to himself just fine.) Just wondering how things unfolded.
