That is an absolute true statement. You do never know who is around. But the reality is there is no rule that covers this at all. I asked and I did not get a single rule that says what you do if an official interfere with the players. This was not an out of bounds situation where the player was not obstructed. And if the throw was not on the way when the kid fell I might have done something totally different. Again this has never happened to me in all the games I have worked during the regular season and in the off season. And at the point I am at in my career, I doubt there would have been too many people at this game where I would have had to worry about what they thought. And if they did not like it, they would tell me and I would listen. But it is overplayed to suggest that I did not follow a rule when this is not covered specifically and what 2-3 is for in the first place. I would have been OK with going with an out of bounds call completely in a close game or a game that had any question of the outcome. But this team was not going to beat this ranked team with only a couple of minutes left to go and it would not have mattered. We all laughed about it in the locker room and one of my partners was a State Final did not agree with the call, but he felt the way I handled it was fine. And there was a crew that followed us and that was some ribbing about the situation from them as well.

Peace
