Anyone see this? (Video)

Looks like the losing school got an explanation and visit from the state body:

“One of the UIL officials had talked to the head official of the game, and he said he did blow his whistle and raise his hand for a foul call,” Davis said. “He didn’t see the time or hear the buzzer go off. He looked over at his co-official, who then waved his arms to indicate the game was over. That’s when they said ‘Let’s go’ and took off.

So I put my fist in the air and blow my whistle for a foul and don't ever hear the horn go off, and fully intend on going to the table to report the foul, but a partner just waves the shot off and decides the game is over?

1. Why did the guy who called the foul not stop everyone and discuss it?

2. Why did the guy who waved everything off not ask what the calling official had before they ran off?

I am far from perfect, but I can't imagine ending a game like that.

This is just wrong:

“The UIL said the referees should have stopped at the scorer’s table to check with them. That’s something that should have been done. And that’s where they didn’t handle it correctly. And the part about knowing that there was a whistle blown to call a foul does say a lot.”

I'm not saying this was done correctly, but if a game is over, it's over. I'm not stopping at the table to check with the scorers.

Again, the importance of communication. I think your first question is the most important. Don't hide your light under a bushel in that situation. Tell your partners "Guys, I had a foul before the horn" and if you're 150% sure you go with that to the grave. If you're not the R and (s)he decides not to go with what you had at least you tried.
