If you watch the WSAZ video, where they slow it down in slow motion, it looks to me like that official was just WANTING to toss Mayo. I am a high school official, and have been for over a decade. But in my opinion, that official went about things the wrong way. Instead of trying to defuse the situation and get between the players, he kept his eye on Mayo the whole time, everywhere he walked. And the second T, Mayo is just walking through. Mouth not moving or anything. And the other 2 officials are standing right there, and they give no inclination that Mayo is doing anything wrong.

And then, the FLOP this official pulls, is one of the best acting jobs I have even seen. In the slow motion part, Mayo is walking to the official, then starts walking sideways toward his bench, when the official looks like he has been shot, such as Castro did when he fell off the stage. Just goes down in a heap. I have seen more contact in a tiddly-wink game.

And if you notice, this official's 2 partners give no effort to try and go over and help him out. They just walk away from him.

And what about the other player. In all the games I have done, it usually takes 2 to tango.

This official was wrong, after looking at the tape closely! If the other 2 didn't feel a need to warrant anything, then why should he?

Hey, maybe he is one of those officials, and I have seen a many of them, who just love being in the spotlight, like all the fans pay their money to come and see him!!!

But, this is just my opinion.

:thumpsup: Couldn't agree with you more!! Ref or Player, fair is fair and this ref wasn't fair, not by a longshot!
