No magic words were used. The ref that missed the call had a personal reason for not calling it and everyone knew that. He knew and when it was called to his attention he didn't like it. Bottom line if SV would have played the first half like the second they would have won by ten.

Everything goes back to a personal reason. What on earth could have been a personal reason for the ref to not make that call? You do know that coaches can scratch referees don't you? So if there is this personal issue that people know about, Coach Rowe should have scratched this ref. You know why he didn't, because there is no personal issue!

I was at the game. I do know that a coaches box has been enforced this year. I also know that Rodney was out on the floor when he got his first T. I don't know why he got it. The second T was because Coach Rowe so professionally gave the other ref the "choke" sign. That is an automatic T. Try it with anyone. But to Coach Rowe's defense, maybe he just realized that he was the one who choked and the official took it the wrong way.
