I don't know....that guy in the video said it was the most bizarre officiated sporting event he has ever seen in his life. If it was the worst some random guy has ever seen in his entire life then the officials must have been terrible

Also there were only 22 fouls in the whole game, not in the first half.

All it took for me was to read the first portion of the story...

"Georgia football officials have come under fire after using their whistles an inordinate amount of times on the field,"

.... to know that this was a hit piece.....

I find that a lot of stat people, ball boys, and media don't think the 2 yard belt applies to them. They seem to think that sice they aren't players or coaches, the rules don't apply to them.

Our crew was doing a game that was on the local cable tv access. The ball was on about the 2 yard line and when the teams lined up to snap, I punched off the receiver for my HL. Something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye and the lens of the camera was literally 3 inches from my ear. The play ran and I got the coach after the play and had them remove the camera man back and advised him that it would be an USP on him and I didn't want to make that call but would be forced to do so if the didn't comply. He took care of it immediately and we didn't have any more problems.

Moving a cameraman shouldn't take the coach's involvement and shouldn't require threatening the coach to get it done.

I always thought the ball boys were part of the crew.
