Before we tar and feather the official, will there be any discussion of the first 5:50 of the match? At 7-4 with ten seconds left, it sounds like A LOT of wrestling occurred prior to the last :10...
You know that's how it goes, you can go an entire season without a cross look sideways and all the sudden you are the worst official ever because you make a call that someone doesn't care for....I know that officials working these matches are putting forth their absolute best effort. They know what it means to the kids and they don't want to be deciding the outcome.
On NF calls, there's another factor here, and its happened to me...I have been swinging my arm and just before I finish my swing and count, and mean by a cat's hair, the kid comes out of criteria or time expires and even though it looks like I've hit the two count I haven't...that's really not all that uncommon, at is was a topic at one of our meetings....to make sure you are accurate on your counting.
