Yep.

Having the game end what way? By letting the administering official count like he is supposed to? By letting a team have five seconds to throw the ball in after the ball is at their disposal? He didn't like it that the clock was running and the team that was winning apparently (In his mind) took too long to gather the ball for the throw-in? This guy would be on my scratch list within minutes of the game being over.
