Jeff did an outstanding job here catching what needed to be caught.

Unless, of course, you think every such action like this is the officials fault -- in that case, I'd like to suggest altering your line of thinking. Or become a play-by-play announcer or coach.

I never said there was something in the video the crew missed. I was simply pointing out that calling this tech isn't "preventative officiating".

I was talking about preventative officiating. Something like noticing the player is getting frustrated and giving him a quick word or alerting a coach or captain. Calling a foul is reactionary to something that already happened.

.

I will never say there is something we could not have done better, but it did not appear this was a situation where something was glaring from the situations in the game. Other than these being conference rivals and playing each other several times this year, it was a hard fought game. And I do not talk to captains to stop things, I talk to the players at hand. Actually these teams hardly even addressed us about any foul that was called as well. So not much to talk about honestly.

Interesting (I guess) that this same team also had a player get a foul, followed by a T, in the previous game.

Great grab on the two handed shove after the whistle. Way to have your partners back.
