You could make the right call, and the coach could still lose his job because that call cost him the game. Bob kinda forgot about that.

Coach Bob's statement has nothing to do with the realities of college officiating. You will be judged on your total body of work, not one lonely call. I'm still waiting to meet the official that has never missed or blown a call.

That was my point.

I agree. That "one crappy call" didnt' cost the coach his / her job. The crappy play by his / her team for the first 39 minutes of this game and the 40 previous games cost the coach his / her job.

A funny thing about his comment -- The UCSB players were the scorekeepers for the games. Towards the end of one of the games I was watching, one of the coaches was upset about a call or no call. The player keeping score said to me, yeah, like that's what cost your team the game, not the free throws your players just missed. I almost told him he should tell his coach that.

about D1 level kids, they realize for the most part that the officials don't determine the outcome of the game, their play does. That players comments are a great example of that. Of course you have your exceptions.
