Thanks Badbo foryour reply. What you said illuminates further my point though. I agree with your assesment of that call... but that isn't even the call I was curious about. You are correct in how they judged those OT matches. The call that was stunningly bad was in the 3rd period of regulation. Millstead, from the bottom referees position slowly and methodically worked his way to his feet. Aaron was doing a good job defending Millstead but eventually Millstead turned and faced Ellison and the two were head-to-head facing each other, both on their feet. Milstead was not awarded an escape point. Explain. The match would not have gone into overtime if that point was awarded. I didn't have a problem with the overtime call you are talking about. But it does illustrate the notion that in the minds of some spectators a god-awful call (or no call as the case may be) will be forgotten if the drama continues later in the match and especially if the decisive call can be even remotely debated. I genuinely appreciate your point of view though.
