ball watching...

[JRutledge]

This is the classic tale of ball watching and why it an get you in trouble. All of this helped throw out a coach (probably rightfully so) and questioning the actions of the official in that ejection all because if he had called a foul on someone, this never likely happens. And even if the ejection was warranted, the assignor, conference and state (as they posted the video) now has their opinion on what you did wrong as an official for everyone to see. Call a foul here and no one knows who you are. Now everyone knows who you are and you become a footnote like Rich (Just joking Rich).

Peace

I think that took longer than 5 seconds for me to read.

Hopefully the lead was ball watching, there really can't be any other reason for this to be missed. On a side note. I'm not a big fan of giving the "T" right in someone's face. Honestly, the coach didn't do much to deserve the second T in my opinion. The first thing she says is "Are you kidding me". Which is probably a normal reaction for what just happened. Like Jet said, the C should have a real good look at this.

All I will say is what sparks your sensibilities on a T is not the same as someone else. I likely would not have given a second T at all, but maybe the first one depending on what she had said during and maybe before. Hard to tell IMO totally, but if a foul was called in the first place, then he probably would not have given a foul in the first place. My question is why was he there in the first place as it does not appear he even made a call on the post action.
