Right. But, this wasn't a human, this was a D-I ref.

As I have said in the past, I do not advocate explaining every call that a coach complains about. But, on rare occasions when a coach screams, "Over the back!" I have given him a quick look and held my hands the appropriate distance apart. This is sign language for "He was this far from him." Amazingly, sometimes it works. I have seen coaches nod and sit down. This is sign language for, "Oh, my bad."
