Yeah, he's a NCAA official and yes he did have a big game. But he is also still a human being that made a call that wasn't the easiest in a very big game. You can't tell me that the top officials don't ever make mistakes in the closing seconds of a big game. It evens happen to the best of them in the NBA. This official made a good, solid call in a big game, and he made it look routine. I will admit that most big game officials make the right call in this situation just as this referee did. Nonetheless, this game was huge for these kids looking for an automatic birth and this official did not make a mistake. Yes, it may happen that most officials make this call, but that does not mean it should ever be taken for granted.
