I have been made aware that the call was made strictly by the officials... they never consulted the table, who had the authority to provide input to the call. When they approached the table after talking only amongst themselves, the three officials had reached their decision. No video was available for viewing. Wash U officials at the table were given no opportunity to help....
Take my word for it, this is how it went down......![]()
... so my discouragement now vents directly to the 3 offficials on the court.....
Unfortunately, at the D3 level, most games actually only have 3 referees except for the playoffs. At regular season games the table referee wears a striped shirt, but is not a sanctioned official. From what I could see of the video, the women in the striped shirt at the table was not consulted, did not offer any information, and the referees did not look like they expected her input.
