He was absolute class in not complaining about officiating decisions, but rather praised both Auburn and Virginia for the plays that they made and the great game.

I too thought Charles showed some class there. Appreciative of what Auburn accomplished. Stuff happens. Good on him!

We post potentially missed plays or rules all the time on this forum that probably don’t matter “at that stage of the game.” So what’s your point?

It always matters if you working a college game with me. When I'm the crew chief I make sure that we're putting the ball in play where it supposed to be.

It's unfortunate the double dribble was missed, but the T knew the defense was going to take a foul there.....tough to officiate the defense there knowing that and catch a double - which rarely happens at that level.

Put yourself on the court as the T or C and imagine officiating the defender (as we are taught) expecting a take-foul to happen.

I'm not seeing a dribble off the foot with the Auburn #2 so close to the ball handler and not guessing why the ball was loose for a split second. I'm just really surprised Breeding didn't call the take-foul.

Christ, Breeding was not the official that missed the illegal dribble or the take foul.

The T missed the illegal dribble. The C had a great, open look at the take foul.

It’s amazing to me how many holier-than-thou high school officials have the gall to act as though “I wouldn’t have missed that play or this play.”

This crew missed plays. This crew made some outstanding calls.

Yawn.

You want the Lead to come get that in the backcourt?
Sirmons was the C.

I'm with you in case you don't realize it.

Who the f---, even in a top HS game, expects an illegal dribble?

Staring at the dribbler is usually a recipe for not getting anywhere near that level.

The T was Kimble. The C was Sirmons.

Breeding had nothing to do with these plays, and he had the guts to make the most important call of the game and nailed it.

How many holier-than-thou officials would have passed on that play under the justification of “letting the kids decide it”?

Sorry, I incorrectly identified Breeding for Sirmons.

I never used names.

A to B, bodied the shooter at the top of the shot.

If you pass on that, you're not a good official and I don't want to work with you.

I know plenty of high school officials who would stare at the dribbler, know the dribbling rules forward and back, and would still miss that play.

Yet in a Final Four game those same officials want to lambaste the top officials in the country for erring. LOL.
