Wow, normally I would defend an official being battered on these boards, but if he really thought you needed a three count for two points I truly am disappointed in that, perhaps this person should consult their rule book. Now as for cutting off a second count and not awarding the points that is a different subject. If the official does not believe a full second count was earned but his momentum with his arm carries it out then he is perfectly within his right to not award points.
