Without giving credence to other comments that have been made, a bad call late in the game does have more of an impact than one that occurs early in the game. The theory is that teams have more ability to overcome that mistake with more time. This diminishes as the clock winds down.

Don't interpret my comments to mean that I agree with parrot. I don't; and I don't think the officiating impacted this game.

I agree, but it's never looked at in that way.

It's look at that way by all college supervisors, and probably a good number of HS assignors.

As officials we are expected to be at peak concentration in the last 2-5 minutes of a game. The challenge is raising our level of concentration to those heights during the rest of the game.
