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 thought that in internet Boards/Posts blue font signified sarcasm. I could be wrong, it has been known to happen!!

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?

On web message boards, blue font is typically used for sarcastic statements.

Hence if some one were to say, for example...

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.

It should be taken tongue-in-cheek.

Another example would be:

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

I would interpret that to mean you really do know what the blue font means, and asked the question sarcastically.

as opposed to:

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

One can only assume you don't know what it means and is a legitimate question.

Wow...been on the web since day nearly day 1 and I've never heard of such a standard.

Lots of people just like the color blue.
