We now can only make calls that everyone can see?

Yea, that's what I said. Only make calls when a foul is obvious to everyone in attendance.

It's only right. We officials have no business making a call that we don't know the entire audience, coaches and players will agree with. I can't believe I'm the only one that calls a game using that mantra.

I watched the video before I read anything about the incident. I was actually wondering what the "controversy" was all about. Sure it was a gutsy call, but that is why you work in the state tournament game!!
Had the other team done a better job boxing out and securing the rebound (not to mention more then one missed free throw or turn over) this wouldn't have been an issue.

I can only hope that you're the only one that calls a game using that mantra.

In my experience, you're in a very miniscule minority with that particular philosophy.

I've heard of calling the obvious, but never calling only the obvious.....

I was beginning to worry that the only color folks in here see are black and white.

I'm sorry, but WTF does the font color have to do with anything?

[just another ref]

Lot's of good opinions posted on the site with the video.

Ok, to the person writing this article I would like to point out that in no way, any league, division, level of basketball, replay or not, can you end a game with free throws. This is physically impossible. So some of your credibility is lost in stating that. Secondly, one of the main rules, if not THE main rule of refing is that a call you make should not decide the outcome of the game.
