Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 4178724, member: 668"] Perhaps. I can respect your opinion. However, IMO, the ref needed to have thicker skin in that moment. Part of the problem, again in my opinion, is when a ref doesn't stay in the moment, and allows his own subjectivity, past unrelated to this moment circumstance, etc. affect his decision. I've seen coaches do more than that after being T'ed up and not get tossed. In my view, it was the ref succumbing to his own insecurities, etc. and a power play saying, Oh yeah, you are directing the crowd at me, I'll show you who has the last word. [/QUOTE]
