Maybe this was obvious to eveyone else, but it took me awhile to figure it out... this discussion is NOT about a game involving the TAMU Aggies (College Station), but about the TA&M International U Dustdevils (Laredo).

Called Out?

Can anyone say "over-officiating".

See, I don't see that as applying here. To me, OOO (over-officiating) is looking for boogers to apply a rule and penalty enforcement to, when good game management would have the vast majority of officials handling the booger a different way.

If this report is accurate, there was a violation expected to be enforced with a prescribed penalty (charged offensive conference); but this umpire/crew apparently made up its own penalty (runner is out).

I agree. OOO is officiating BY the book instead of WITH the book, trying to impress all with your knowledge of something obscure, and making the game about you.

This sitch is not OOO --- it's simply bad officiating.

Yes she is the assistant coach, Lindsay Gardner is the head coach. I find it hard to believe this is what was called and accepted.

It appears the announcers and the TAMIU coach and the game report writer believe that this is the rule. As far as the umpires, maybe U1 did not see the PU grant time. Otherwise, that's how they called it.
