I assume most of you are familiar with the incident that occured last year when an official blew his whistle inadvertantly but wouldn't admit it. For those of you who do remember I'm curious as to how you think it was handled. (In the interests of full disclosure I am no longer interested in officiating basketball and I am a fan of the "wronged" team). To the best of my knowledge said official has never apologized publically or privately to the young man who was lambasted on national TV because of the official's mistake or to his team. Would it be inappropriate for an official to make such an apology? Are there some sort of legal ramifications? Is there concern that admitting to mistakes undermines an officials authority? Just wondering what other officials think.
