The whole episode demonstrates yet again, a high level of incompetence and a real disregard for the school's image to say nothing of what it says to Rosie about his value to the program.

Everyone makes mistakes that's forgivable.    What isn't forgivable is to have made the mistake and then to have not cared enough to check the work to see that there had been a mistake.

What's more, even if you assume complete incompetence, I refuse to believe that they didn't unwrap the thing  and see the mistake until they were ready to hand it to Rosie.   Someone knew that they had screwed up most likely well before the game began.   That should have allowed enough time to decide to simply forego the public presentation of the framed jerseys.    No one has to be the wiser.     Discreetly tell Rosie and Louie that a mistake was made in Rosie's jersey and so as not to cause embarassment to the University we are going to unveil the jerseys in the rafters, shake your hands, but send you the framed jerseys to your homes next week.    No one among the general public had to know.     Instead we publicly present him the jersey with the wrong name on it hoping no one will notice or thinking no one will care.     In my view it's the last part that is the firing offense, not the initial mistake itself.
