Agreed. The plays early in the game aren't "as remembered" as the "missed violation" or "passing on light contact" near the end when the game is on the line. Everything that happens before that is forgotten. Those "game changers" are what folks remember. Oh, those darn refs!

I still remember the NCAA game where the Georgetown player was fouled all the way in the backcourt running down the sidelines with little to no time on the clock and sent to the line with the game on the line. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.....and as I recall he was the best free throw shooter in the school's history!
