I watched the game. It was not a patient whistle -- it was "see if the shot goes in, if it doesn't then call the foul." I sure hope this isn't the direction advantage/disadvantage is going.

Of course, I had a similar situation on Saturday night where I gave my partner (the L) a chance to get the foul, waited a bit, then came in and got it from the C position. The coach actually asked me if I waited to see if the shot went in before calling the foul -- I reassured him that I don't officiate that way and I was just giving my partner an extra second or so to get that before I did. He was satisfied with that and life went on.

I guess you should have been on the game instead.

Oh, that's right. The supervisor put TV on the game, not you.

Just making an observation. Not ripping TV -- he's one of my favorites to watch.

Yep, Iona v BYU. Going to be high-scoring and fast-paced.

Not to pile on but he just called an OOB on the sideline from at least 20 feet away where the players foot was very clearly in bounds.

He just badly missed one on a sideline, though -- that player wasn't close to being OOB.
