Assuming Nunn is talking about the same play. If I read this correctly, he's saying the player got foul but the official was out of position. Which means to me, why didn't the other officials step up and make the call? Hey, these guys are suppose to be the best officials in the business, especially since they had the soft foul on the other end.
Just as I get told to retire the trophy, you come up with this. Might not be your dumbest, but it's in the top 5.

Two words for everybody: "Ignore list".

I know about the ignore list. I choose not to. If I start calling for this guy to be removed from the board, then you can tell me to shut up and ignore him.

Losers

I heard an adage once, "The first team to complain is the one that's going to lose." When I coach, I try very hard to impress that on my players. Complaining is an excuse for losing. A game is not won or lost on the last play, ever. There are always countless missed opportunities, mistakes, etc. that had a bearing on the final outcome. I'm always disappointed when I hear an athlete put a loss on the officials. It happens a lot. In 13 years, I've probably coached 100 games and reffed 1000. I don't even want to hazard a guess as to how many I've seen on TV or watched as a fan. Lots. But in all of that, I can honestly say that there's been only one game I've ever seen that the way an official conducted himself had a direct bearing on the outcome of the game.
