Villanova-Pitt
 
One of the best officiated games I have seen.


Interesting article on one of the refs in that game

I agree.

It's what happens when you stay in your primary ;)

Interesting, but probably not surprising. First time I've seen such a public "outing" of an official though. Any other schedule conflicts out there that have become so public?

I completely know what Mr. McCall is going through as I am involved with same kind of situation. My game schedule does not require me to miss work, but I did have change my shifts around 4-6 times during this pass basketball season though.

More then likely someone else that works in the district that Mr. McCall works in wanted to do something else that they enjoyed doing and also made money and they were told no. Then that person brought up Mr McCall's refereeing and then thus we read that kind of article.

That article is old news - 2008.

Except when the Lead called that fouled on Villanova that had to be discussed to get the number of the offender. The C and L should have had a lot better looks.

Caught the very end at the restaurant last night. Great no-call on Nova's last drive.

I saw that too. Did they really go to the monitor to see who the foul was called on?

They didn't go to the monitor but they did huddle amongst themselves. Originally the foul was reported on #15 who didn't come anywhere close to touching the Pitt player then it was changed to #22 who was behind the Pitt player. I don't know how the L could've seen a foul on #22 on that play.
