I agree with both JR and TrueRookier. "C" looks like he's a little out of position and shouldn't had looked at the shooter. But he's not completely wrong as he's travelling with ball speed and he knew a quick shot (perhaps a three) must go off (look at the score and time remaining). In a way, I believe he wanted to pick up the shooter cause the ball is in the dual area. He could of perhaps trusted that the "T" that he would pick up that matchup and look for a different competitive matchup (in this case the two rebounders). I also have a sneaky feeling that he's expecting the "L" to force a rotation (perhaps thats why he moved so slowly and didn't look at the two rebounders). If you look at the other players, the offense players were actually outside of the three point area and there are no match ups but the two rebounders to pick up. Whatever it is, he didn't see the Wyoming player pushing the New Mexico player and it was his call to make. We can for sure say that because after the shove, he was leaning toward the players and had no clue what went on. Of course with video tape and instant reply, we can tell what could of done differently. But to say he's a poor official is just arrogant and stupid. He is no poorer than any of us here, if he were, I bet you wouldn't even be able to see him on TV.
