I don't think that it is a question of right or wrong. It was just a strange sitch.
During the dead ball between FTs for UCLA there were subs entering and a UCLA player and a Cal player crossed and bumped in front of the table as they were heading to their benches. The players exchanged words and the Cal player can clearly be seen yapping at the opponent. McRoy is standing nearby and seems to catch the tail end of the exchange. I doubt that he observed the contact. He whistles and T's only the Cal player. Then there is a quick discussion with a partner and the T is rescinded. That's what it looked like from the TV. I can't tell you anything else. |

Do people realize how ridiculous this way of thinking is? Apply this theory to a D1 game and have an ugly situation every game where you "just get it right." Right or wrong, you will be fired.

Hmmmmmmm, you just made it more ridiculous!

Who do you know of that goes out to officiate a game and doesn't intend on getting calls right? How about an official who has another agenda besides getting calls right? Since we know that they want to get calls right, why say that is all that matters like it is a revelation?

nope we don't agree....I said if it happens several times....1 time with an ugly situation won't get you fired. There was an ugly situation earlier this year in a particular MWC game...New Mexico - Wyoming....very ugly, they may or may not have actually gotten everything correct.....I see that the R in that game hasn't worked yet in the MWC tournament....Nope he didn't get fired, he is too busy working the Big 12 tournament.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Agreed with what you just said. If the partner came in with additional information he should have had a whistle too OR we will go with a double T personally, I will not recind a Technical.

Context is everything
Once the crew conferred, i surmise they had two options:
1) T both players 2) T nobody (recind the T) Since the context (incidental bump that both/one player took exception to) wasn't entirely unsporting, I'm sure that's why they opted for the do over. The commentators praised the crew (not that their opinion matters!), and I'm sure neither coach would have cared for a double T at that point of the game (not that what they "want" matters either). "admitting a mistake, can be a sign of strength, not weakness" ...just don't be "stong" too many times!

At first, I thought they had called the double T - which would result in no shots, play resuming from the POI and clueless announcers saying things like "the ref took back the T"...but checking the box score shows there were no T's called, so he did take it back - which is really weird (in a bad way)...
